Pink on tp after wiping. no bright red days ago. dabbed back there yesterday, saw what looked like a scab on tp. what could the scab be from?

Probably a zit: You probably burst a zit by your rectum when you wiped. Have it looked at by your family doctor if you are still concerned. Best wishes.

Scab: You might have a pilonidal cyst . See your doctor for further help. You may have to have it drained.
