Anal pain accompanied by bleeding, should always be examined by a DR in person. There are a variety of conditions that can cause these symptoms. Anal fissures are just one. Others include hemmorhoids (internal or external), colitis, even cancer.

There is usually a skin tag palpable at the lower end of the fissure. However, as Dr. Kratzberg pointed out bleeding and pain warrant evaluation by a doctor. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anal-fissure/symptoms-causes/syc-20351424
