Weird skin tag question

I've had trouble on and off with anal skin tags that get inflammed, swollen and bleed.
Dealing with one right now that is unhappy!
It is NOT a hemorrhoid. Can't stress this enough.
Have been putting ice pack and steroid cream on and has been helping. It's decreasing.
It happens every once in awhile but this time is the longest time it has been flared.
Would my gp look at it? I really don't want to have surgery right now so I've just been trying to deal the best at home.
By the time I do see a doctor it will just look normal again anyway...
This has been my past experience and I'm not taken seriously.
I do have chronic bowel issues that are being addressed and I am doing everything in the book for constipation, it's complicated but under control.
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
