about 2 weeks ago for one bowel movement i had bright red blood on the outside of my stool and when i wiped. I first thought it was a tear as i had a hard and sharp stool. but for the past 2 days I've been having a itchy bottom throughout the day but mainly after i wipe and when i looked i saw it has kind of gone purple in just one spot. Is this the start of piles or is it something serious sorry if the photo isn't very clear, just very worried:(image

    not a totally clear picture, but it sounds like either internal or external hemorrhoids. Also with "hard" "sharp" stool you may have a fissure
