Upon a physical exam my dr said the anal area was actually quite dry. could this be a cause for the mild anal bleeding? (bright red blood spot/smear)

Possibly: Particularly if lead to the compromise in the integrity of the skin in the perianal area. This may predispose you to skin breakdown and bleeding from superficial lesions.
