What Causes Bleeding During Bowel Movements, Itching And Rectal Pain?
For about a month or so I have been dealing with what I thought was hemorrhoids. I have used preparationH suppositories and some cream and they seem to help some. The pain starts after/during a bowel movement and there is blood on the toilet paper almost every time I wipe. Today I decided to take a picture of it because it hasn t gotten any better and I am really scared it is something worse than hemorrhoids. Also the irritated skin around my anus has some white spots.

Hello,
White spots on the anal area can be due to yeast infection. You can use miconazol cream twice a day in the area for 1-2 weeks. If no improvement of the white spots in 3-4 days you will need to have them checked with your doctor.
To help with hemorroids it is important to take something that helps the stools be soft like extra fiber supplements or polyethilen glycol and sometimes you can add lactulose syrup 1-2 tablespoon a day if stools not soft enough and almost all of these generally over the counter in pharmacy.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
