    I had one in the vaginal area, which was removed, years prior to my diagnosis of anal cancer.

    I have a sizable one right outside of the anus.  (there has been no discussion about removing it)

    Thank you for res

    Thank you for your responses. It is just a worry with everything else. Surgeon told me what I have is anal skin tags. Just a worry since this is what basically took me to the doctor in the first place before diagnosis. I have my 8 month scan next week. So far have been told cured so hope this next scan shows the same. Thank you. Appreciate all of you and wish you all the best!
