You may need to be seen by a proctologist who can look inside in his office by anoscopy and/ or flexible sigmoidoscopy to rule out anal fissure or hemorrhoids etc. For more information please click the link just below:

Until you see a doctor or go to an Emergency Room you can use over the counter medications such as Preparation H cream.
