Hello Doc, About 5 days back I found a red/pink skin tag like structure right next to the anus opening area. It doesn't normally hurt but when I try to wash it or inspect it, it does. So this thing does have some receptors. I think it grew overnight, or maybe in a matter of a day, I'm not too sure. I keep my private parts clean and use water as well as napkins to wipe it down, so I'm guessing its not a hygiene issue. Prior to discovering this lump, I had my periods and I'm wondering if the pads I use might have something to do with it. Please could you give me an idea about what this might be? What caused it and how I can get rid of it? Medicines or best practices for hygiene? Appreciate your help. TIA. Best, V
