Hi I've noticed that about 2 months ago maybe 3 I had almost like a cut in my anal opening and I would see some blood in my waste, and now just about a week ago I discovered something that isss attached to the inside part of my anus and it looks like a little skin baggie I don't quite know if it has any liquid in it or if it's just skin and I know this sounds insane and Im not sure how to describe it but can someone please help me!!! I'm praying that it is not anal cancer :( also what doctor do I go to , to have this checked out?

also can this extra skin that Im talking about become maybe a result of an anal fissure? I feel like maybe that is what it started out as?

Hi Smilebehappy23,

What you're describing sounds like either an anal fissure or a hemorrhoid. Please schedule an appointment with your doctor so that he can diagnose and treat it. You can take this to your family practitioner or a gastroenterologist-- the GE doctor will likely ask you many questions to determine if the fissure/hemorrhoid is what is causing the blood in your stool.
Here is some more information on both conditions:

Good Luck!
