I accidentally cut my perineal raphe. it doesn't hurt much and it bled a bit, but now i have skin maybe 1/4" long hanging. is the perineal raphe important? what should i do? it will heal normally?

Heal spontaneously: It's hard to evaluate a tear in the perineal region without seeing it. However most tears heal spontaneously on their own without any complications.

Had a stool today that caused some pain as if it cut my skin and bled a tiny bit on paper. Had another stool later that was normal but hurt a lot and bled a teaspoon amount. Still burns and hurts now. Could this be a tear? Family hx mom has crohns?
