For at least a year or so now, I've had blood on the toilet paper after a bowel movement. It's not been every time, but at least 90 percent of the time. It's pretty much always just a minor amount, so I just assumed I was wiping too hard, and the sandpaper they put in the bathrooms at work doesn't help. Only a few times has it been more than just a smear of blood. 2 weeks or so ago, I did a little self exam and found an approx. 3/16" discoloration to the lower left of my anus. (think 7 oclock) When I stretch the skin, it separates and is clearly an open sore. It's not sore unless I've recently had a movement, then it kinda burns like its been aggravated, but stops after awhile. I had a full STD bloodtest last week, everything negative. What research I've done points to anal fissures, but the internet is only so helpful. Any suggestions, course of action or what not?
