Most likely you are experiencing pain and a little bleeding from hemorhoids.  Those are vascular tissues that swell up from straining after a bout of constipation.  When waste goes by them, they hurt and bleed.  There are two things you can do:  One is to ease the discomfort with medicine, and the other is to eat a little differently to prevent constipation.  And just to help you personally feel better about the whole thing, many many people get hemorhoids, but they do come and go as digestion returns to normal.

The medicine that will relieve the pain you have right now are two:  One is to get "Preparation H" from the drugstore, or any similar ointment that shrinks hemorhoids (you can ask the pharmacist).  Two is to get any kind of lotion or plain KY jell is best (not the flavored kinds), and after every time you bathe, put some on there and it will ease the discomfort from chaffing.

The way to change your eating habits so this won't keep happening is three things:  Drink extra water daily, exercise regularly, and slowly introduce more fiber foods to your diet, which include oat cereal, whole wheat bread, fresh or frozen cooked vegies, fruit as a snack, and salads.  This prevents constipation that makes people strain to go, which pushes out the extra skin that you've noticed.  It also prevents that tearing or painful sensation when you pass waste, which constipation makes waste rather large and dry.  Sometimes certain medications will cause constipation, though, so if you're taking anything at all, have the prescribing doc review side effects.

If you try these tips out and in two weeks you don't notice a big difference, then you will need to visit a doctor to make sure it's not something a little more complicated.  Hope this helps you feel better, let us know.
