Dryness: Frequently, vigorous wiping oneself with dry tissue after toileting can cause dry irritation of the skin in that area. Using a little water to dampen the toilet tissue, if that is possible, or applying lotion immediately after can be helpful. If you notice blood and pain, then you may have progressed to tissue injury called a fissure,. Fissures usually heal, but may require medical attention.
