What Causes Bleeding Around The Anus?
I am a 60 year old male. For the past few weeks I have had bleeding skin around my anus. I thought it was bleeding hemorrhoids, but it continued to get worse. I had my wife looked at it and she said a large area of skin around my anus and far up my crack is very red. There are no bumps. It does itch, but hurts if I scratch it. It rubs and hurts as I move around. I have been using a warm sitz bath for a few days but it is not helping.

it could be anal fissure or tear, due to constipation and forcefull defecation , kindly try sitz bath . it is done by siting in a tub full with lukewarm water and add KMNO4 , or if KMNO4 is not available then simple lukewarm water . you can apply locally anovate cream, and start eating high fibre diet which will soften your stool .
