You are suffering from chronic anal fissure, in this case sentinel tag/skin is a normal thing, which occurs because of healing process. But perianal itching may not be associated with anal fissure, it may because of some form of worm infection. Srinkage/ stenosis of anal canal absolutely needs examination by a proctoscope to see the extent of stenosis, if stenosis is there you will need a minor procedure called Lord's anal dilatation to dialate canal.
Next Steps
Consultant your doctor.
