I have small painless growths in the anus area. Please help.

Question

Hello doctor,

I have small growths in my anus area like small polyps (like berries). Is this life threatening? Or is this something to worry about? There is no pain and bleeding.

Answer 1

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

I saw your pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is human papilloma viral infection, we call them as warts. Nothing serious and plan for cryotherapy as soon as possible by consulting a dermatologist near you.

Thank you for consulting me.

Answer 2

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read and understand your concern.

They are viral warts. Skin tags we call them as acrochordons usually appear on joints on the skin but on mucosal areas like anus or mouth.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hi,

I read and understand your concern.

It usually transmits through sexual contact and by cryotherapy. We are blocking these growths, if not, they will slowly expand.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.
