Most likely a : This is most likely due to an anal fissure. These typically are not worrisome. I recommend monitoring. If it gets worse, or you start to see more blood in the stool, toilet, on toilet paper, you have dark, tarry stools, you feel light headed, dizzy or tired, you should get in to see your doctor to make sure you are not bleeding internally.
