Some basics to understand. Bright red/pink blood means it is fresh & from near the outlet. When it comes from up inside (cancer) it has been acted on by inside chemicals/enzymes and changes through a darker maroon to purple to black, depending on how high up it originated. These are the facts. You have a self healing fissure.
