Need some advice please

Hello there, I need some medical advice and thought this would be the best place to confirm a few things, sorry if this isn't the right message board for it though. I will be calling up my local GP for a check later on though.
So, I passed stool about an hour ago and it was quite a sharp somewhat painful one to pass. The pain went away immediately after I passed it and it wasn't a big stool but when I wiped myself there was some blood on the toliet paper. I've had blood on toliet paper years ago but that was just tiny dots, there was a bit more this time, not a lot but still more than enough to leave me a bit worried that the skin in my anus had been cut. I just wiped again 20 minutes ago and there was no blood when I probed my anus but there was still some left over when I gave it a second wipe.
I've been walking about a bit and sitting down for the past few minutes now and there was a bit of itchness due to what happened. So what should I do next? Should I check with my doctor to see if an infection might happen? Would the cut heal itself if there is one? I know to improve my diet so I'm planning on that but is there anything else I should be concerned about? Thank you.

As already suggested, it sounds more like haemorrhoids than anything more serious. Drink more fluid, eat more dietary fibre, don't strain when taking a dump, and you'll probably be fine. Preparation H or similar will probably alleviate the symptoms.

I use an ointment called Ultraproct. Doesn't sound like a prostate problem!
