Hemorrhoid?: It sounds like you have irritated a hemorrhoid. The initial treatment for that is stool softeners, take a sitz bath nightly and try over the counter wipes like Tucks (witch hazel) pads. If the problem persists more that a week, you should go see your doctor to have a rectal examination.
