I had very painful constipation two days in a row. now my perineum is itchy, inflamed and it looks like there might be some sort of small blister on it. is this normal?

You may have external hemorrhoids. You can do warm sitz bath, 10-15 minutes and apply preparatiion H over the lesions twice a day for several days. Active, exercise, good hydration and eating foods with high fiber for avoiding constipation in the future.

Agree with Dr. Le. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
