See your doctor: The streaking you describe may be due to a bunch of different things. You may have a hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, an AVM, or maybe even cancer. I would speak to your doctor and get another rectal examination. In the absence of hemorrhoids, you doctor may advise that you get a repeat colonoscopy.

Should be fine: Without knowing anything other than that you have had colonoscopies that were fine, then more than likely this is a benign process of the anal area - fissure/hemorrhoid, which are not life threatening and can be treated very easily.
