Not really: Usually blood on tissue signifies local irritation that heals in short time. If persistent or associated with other symptoms, then worth a discussion with your doctor.

Can wiping too hard cause anal irritation and even blood? I tend to wipe a bit too hard and sometimes there are little red dots on toilet paper when I wipe. It feels as if there's a cut outside my anus, but I'm not sure?
