Question 1

there is small cut of anus while shaving & bleeding from cut what i do?????

Accepted Answer

: Clean the area with soap and water and apply pressure until the bleeding stops. Then, apply an antibacterial ointment, like bacitracin or triple antibiotic ointment, etc. Do that daily until it heals. If it becomes red or swollen or more painful, see your doctor to be sure it is not infected. Good luck!

Question 3

i have a cut from anus to vagina. how do i heal it quickly?

Accepted Answer

You didn't say: How you got this "cut" and that makes all the difference in my answer. What you describe is similar to an episiotomy. If the cut is from trauma from an assault or if it is a superficial abrasion also can effect my answer. Whether the sphincter muscles have been torn or cut, whether there is an infection or std related contamination also affects my answer. Essentially, i need more info to even atte.

Question 4

bright blood on toilet paper and on pop. can see a tiny cut on anus that isnt bleeding after he finished wiping. just the cut or take to see doctor?

Accepted Answer

Blood: This could be due to the “cut” or a hemorrhoid which can be internal or external. With blood being on toilet paper and around stool, not IN it are good signs. Try an over the counter hemorrhoid cream and if it persists see a physician.

Question 5

cut my anus shaving? or herpes? recently sexually active. two small cuts. no discharge. sore from wiping and hurt when i pee. help!

Accepted Answer

See doctor ASAP: Initial herpes rarely occurs in hair-bearing areas, i.e. where you would shave. OTOH, recurrent herpes could behave like this. You say nothing about risks for herpes or other new STD, like new partner, multiple partners, etc. You'll never get clear answers online, on HealthTap or anywhere else. See a doctor ASAP, the sooner the better for accurate diagnosis both by exam and testing. Good luck.

Question 6

every time i have bowel movements i see blood on the toilet paper. i noticed a small cut near anus. is that bc of the cut? what can i do to stop it?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Increase fiber in your diet .  This sounds like a small rectal fissure and they will usually resolve on there own.

Question 7

bright red blood covering stool/on toilet paper. notice tear/cut near anus. stings when wiping. fissure? cancer?

Accepted Answer

Fissure: Clinical lesions of the anal canal or perianal area present as an ulcerating lesion.  While it is true that as stoll passes such lesions blood may be seen but excess blood usually from a benign source.
When a cut or tear is seen near the anal canal blood is alsway present and lesion is noted a an anal fissure/  Conslervative management with warm sitz baths will allow complete healing.

Question 8

3 days in a row ive blood while bowel movement. today i saw cut on anus (psoriasis was also there). can blood be sign of anything contagious? can i avoid visiting doc and having colonoscopy done? (no other symptoms:doesnt hurt and have no burning).

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Bright red blood found on the surface of poop is most likely fresh &amp; from a cut/fissure/sore at the outlet. Darker maroon blood would come from higher up in the system &amp; be more worrisome for a problem needing colonoscopy.Dark blood mixed within the poop can be from an infectious disease like salmonella but these are usually marked by diarrhea.

Question 9

can i apply baneocin ointment for the cut near the anus area?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic cream: Should be no problem applying this cream to the anal region.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

are any pathogens from feces infecting a cut in the anus considered "pretty contagious?"

Accepted Answer

Not very contagious: The bacteria that inhabit or infect an anal fissure or other anal wound are exactly the same ones that are normally present in feces. These bacteria are not highly contagious -- they can be transmitted by contact with feces or by personal contact with someone with poor toilet hygiene. But it's quite rare to catch such bacteria from other persons.
