| Re: anal irritation
you could try some hydrocortisone cream on it for a few days....if it goes down, it's probably nothing to worry about. The nurse said it was probably a skin tag, and it could also be a fissure. The cortisone cream will help stop the inflammation.
Be careful when wiping after a bm, wash if you can (sitz bath, hand shower in the tub or very wet toilet paper). There are also tuck cloths or other wet wipes type products you might want to try, but without fragrance.
If it gets worse, more irritated, you may not have a choice but to go see the doctor.
