Possibly: External hemorrhoid a typically will itch. If no itching or you're having pain, please see your doctor. The area needs examined.

That is quite likely: But one can never assume 100% that the reason for bleeding is their hemorrhoids - so medical eval is recommended.

Likely, but...: Should get examined to confirm the bleeding source. Sometimes people with hemorrhoids bleed from other causes, or have other issues, including inflammation, diverticulodis (pockets in bowel wall, which can bleed), fragile blood vessels, polyps, tumors, cancer, other.
