Prolapsed hemorrhoid/skin tag? - UPDATED! :)

Hi everyone,

Haven't been here in a while, generally been doing well! But, here I am with something new.

I had an annoying case of recurring hemorrhoids earlier this year that finally seems to have settled down, in as far as discomfort/bleeding etc. However, I noticed last week that I now have what I think is a prolapsed hemorrhoid (skin tag?) that I have to manually push back in after each BM. I otherwise have no major pain (just some irritation which is pretty par for the course for me) and pouch function is unchanged. I've had external skin tags for years that my surgeon says cause more trouble to remove, so we've left them alone, but the protruding one - if it is even a skin tag! - is concerning me a bit, as I'm afraid it could become strangulated or interfere with emptying, or else it will eventually protrude permanently. I have spoken to my surgeon's office and they are supposed to call back with an appointment, but gave me the impression that it won't be for a least a couple more weeks. I'm not panicking or anything as I don't think this an urgent matter, just more of a head scratcher.

Anybody have experience with something like this, or have any ideas?
