I am going to guess this came about because the skin was no longer being streched and began to "eat in" on it's self. To the question. Will this go away FULLY by it's self or will I have to have these removed? The ruff part is the skin dying because there is little to no blood flow in the area, I believe. Would just care to know if I wait a month or two is this going to be gone.

It is always difficult to answer questions like yours without being able to examine you. But it sounds to me that what you are describing are hemorrhoids. These are quite common, especially in individuals who frequently are constipated and have to strain during bowel movements. Many pregnant women get them as well. As far as I know, they are primarily caused by increased pressure on the veins (blood vessels) around your rectum. Hemorrhoids tend to stay, but they can be easily removed by a specialist. However, in order to know for sure I would encourage you to ask a health practitioner who can examine you.
