Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The threadlike growth in the anus seems like a small anal tag, that is, just a skin tag. Usually, it will have an underlying anal fissure, that is, a crack in the skin near the anal opening, that causes pain.

I suggest you take the following medicines:

Lactulose syrup 20 ml at night. It helps in making the stool soft and will reduce further injury to the fissure.
Lignocaine anal cream (Smuth cream), twice daily application. It reduces the pain. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take medicines with their consent.
Avoid constipation. Drink two to three liters of water daily.

Please review with me after three days or earlier if the symptoms worsen. You can take a picture of the area if possible, for better understanding. Good luck.

Thank you.
