Is it normal for skin tags to have a discharge or to bleed?
I have been diagnosed by the doctor as having an anal skin tag. However, this is causing me pain and discomfort, as well as producing an unusual discharge that is orange/pink. It also bleeds sometimes. Is this normal for a skin tag, or would it best if I went to another doctor for a second opinion? I am also worried it might be cancer…. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A discharge usually indicates an infection. Bleeding can be a sign of cancer, but not necessarily. You may want to consult your doctor concerning having your anal skin tag surgically removed. This will eliminate the pain and discomfort, as well as the possibility that the skin tag may turn cancerous.
