Anal skin tag removal is a minor procedure used to remove excess skin when it causes irritation, discomfort or difficulty with hygiene. At our Richmond clinic, treatment focuses on resolving symptoms while allowing the area to heal naturally over time.
Anal skin tags are usually harmless, but they can become bothersome if they catch, become inflamed or make cleaning difficult. At our Richmond clinic, discreet treatment is carried out by Dr Vadim Corjos, and always begins with a consultation to assess the area and confirm whether removal is appropriate.
Prices start from £495 depending on the number of skin tags being treated.
What is anal skin tag removal?
Anal skin tags are small pieces of excess skin that form around the opening of the anus. They often develop after the skin has stretched or become irritated, for example following haemorrhoids or inflammation in the area.
Many skin tags cause no symptoms at all, while others may lead to itching, irritation or difficulty keeping the area clean.
When this becomes an ongoing problem, removal may be appropriate. The procedure involves removing the excess skin under local anaesthetic so the area remains comfortable during treatment. The skin then heals naturally afterwards.
In some cases other dermatology treatments may be discussed depending on the underlying cause of symptoms.
Who is suitable?
Removal may be appropriate for adults who experience irritation, hygiene problems or repeated inflammation.
Some patients also seek treatment when the skin tag catches on clothing or becomes sore.
Suitability is always confirmed during consultation. During this appointment we examine the area and talk through whether removal is likely to help.
Benefits of treatment
Anal skin tag removal may help to:
- Relieve irritation or discomfort
- Improve hygiene in the area
- Reduce repeated inflammation
- Remove excess skin that catches or rubs
- Make day-to-day activities more comfortable
The treatment process
Consultation
Your consultation takes place at our Richmond clinic, where we discuss your symptoms and examine the area. This allows us to confirm the skin tag is benign and suitable for removal and to explain the procedure, recovery and potential risks.
We also provide guidance on preparing for treatment, including simple steps to keep the area clean and reduce irritation beforehand. This helps ensure the procedure can be carried out safely and comfortably.
The procedure
We perform anal skin tag removal under local anaesthetic so the area remains numb. The excess skin is removed using minor surgical techniques, and the procedure is usually straightforward and takes less than an hour.
Patients are normally able to return home shortly afterwards, with clear instructions on how to care for the area during the early stages of healing.
Aftercare
Some tenderness, mild swelling or minor bleeding can occur during the first few days after treatment. Keeping the area clean, avoiding irritation and following the aftercare advice provided will help support healing.
We provide clear written guidance before you leave the clinic and remain available if you have questions during recovery. Follow-up may be arranged if needed to ensure the area is healing as expected.
Recovery and downtime
Most people return to normal daily activities within several days, although the area can feel tender while healing takes place.
Careful hygiene and following the aftercare advice provided will help support recovery.
Healing times vary slightly between individuals, but the area usually settles steadily over the following weeks.
Results and longevity
Once healing is complete, the treated skin tag is permanently removed.
Results are typically long-lasting. However, new skin tags can occasionally develop over time, particularly if the skin becomes irritated again.
This will be discussed during consultation so you have a clear understanding of expected outcomes.
Cost of anal skin tag removal in Richmond
The cost of anal skin tag removal starts from £495 and depends on the number and size of skin tags being treated. Each additional skin tag is typically priced incrementally, which will be discussed during consultation.
A personalised quotation is provided once we have assessed the area and explained the procedure in detail, so you have a clear understanding of the total cost before treatment.
Risks and considerations
As with any minor surgical procedure, anal skin tag removal carries potential risks.
Temporary swelling, tenderness or minor bleeding may occur in the treated area, and infection or delayed healing is possible in some cases.
These risks are discussed during consultation so you can make an informed decision before treatment proceeds.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Anal skin tags can be removed in a single appointment. The actual number of treatments required for the removal of an anal skin tag can depend on various factors, including the size and number of skin tags, and the individual’s healing process.
Anal skin tags are often mistaken for piles and haemorrhoids and genital warts, so it’s important to seek a proper diagnosis from a doctor who can take a safe course of action to remove it.
Whilst we understand patients might feel embarrassed to book an appointment, please remember that our team are compassionate and here in the interests of your health.
During the first 24 hours after treatment, you are likely to experience some degree of discomfort as the anaesthetic wears off, though this can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
Patients should avoid intense exercise for a week after the procedure, though gentle exercise such as walking is perfectly acceptable, helping to boost your circulation and in turn, the healing process. We will take you through the aftercare details of how to look after the area post-treatment.
The cost depends on the number and size of skin tags being treated. A personalised quotation is provided during consultation, but the treatment starts from £495.
Once removed, the treated skin tag does not return. However, new skin tags may develop over time.
Possible side effects include swelling, minor bleeding or infection. These risks are discussed during consultation.
Suitability depends on the type of skin tag and your medical history. This is assessed during consultation.
