My GP said I have anus skin tag last Friday.
I thought it was my hemorrhoids back again after giving birth.
Used Anusol but did not work
Now I have a lump of a size slightly bigger than a kidney bean which my GP thinks it is harmless.
But it is painful when I stand, seat and use the toilet.
So I would like to see a colorectal surgeon on private as my GP says NHS considers this as cosmetic

Can someone please recommend a colorectal surgeon you have seen personally or know someone who has seen one and has only compliments to say abt him/her.

Thank you in advance

I recommend the team at St Marks hospital in Harrow - it's a specialist NHS hospital for bowel issues. They accept private patients too.

Thank you! Anyone in particular that I should see?

They're all really good. And your problem sounds quite straightforward to me (I've no no medical training though!). Hope you get it sorted out Smile

Prof Tim Rockhall at Guildford saved my life last year.

I hope it gets sorted out soon too MollyHuaCha!

Anahata- thank you for recommendation. I will also check him out

Have anyone heard of Sara Badvie?

I just wanted to try to find a good understanding doctor, sometimes they can get very abrupt and not so understanding to patient esp if my condition is not complicated

There's a fabulous man in the South East who my daughter sees, not sure if that's too far out for you?

Gunju Oganbiyi who I see on NHS but I'm fairly sure also works at The Wellington. Are you sure you need Colorectal and not Plastic in which case I recommend Neil Toft, also Wellington I think
