Do I have a skin tag or a Hemorrhoid?

Okay I'm really embarrassed to ask this question, and I know many people have answered this everywhere but I have this excess skin near my anus and I don't know if it's a hemorrhoid or just a skin tag, the thing is, it comes out and goes in depending on what I'm doing, I'd really like an answer instead of going to see my doctor. thanks

If it never gets balloned or painful or itchey  its a skin tag, if it get balloned and painful, and blood on you tissue  are symptoms of  a hemorrhoid.
