I have a skin tag near my anus and I think I might also have a fissure. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? Are there medicines or home remedies that can help with the pain and healing?

Topical creams, sitz baths, and stool softeners may help anal fissures and skin tags. If conservative treatment fails, minor procedures may be needed.
