Hello Anon.

Thank you for writing!

Bright red blood may be seen only on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement – not mixed freely with the bowel movement. This type of bleeding is usually caused by hemorrhoids (piles) or anal fissure. A hemorrhoid is a swollen vein inside the anus. A fissure is a split in the lining of the anus. Otherwise, you might have an internal issue. We cannot know. See your doctor (your regular doctor for a start) who can tell you with certainty what is going on. A foam cream can help but I believe it by prescription only. There are also over the counter options that your pharmacist can help you with.
Best,
Susan
