Skin Tags

So a few months ago I've developed these swollen ulcers near my anal area, not sure if it's fistulas, skin tags or hermeroids but it sometimes gets worst and sometime gets better. I haven't get it checked out yet cause my appointment with GI hasn't come. But last time I had a colonoscopy and I guess the doctor saw it and said it was anal skin tags on the report. It's been with me for a few months now, has anybody had this before? is it associated with crohns? Is there treatment or does it goes away on it's own? Please help!
 
I have anal skin tags, and yes it can be caused by cohns. From my understanding they can be removed if their causing problems. The ones I have do not bother me, but I have heard of them being painful.
