      It looks like there could be something there like a small fissure. Its hard to tell from this photo, it is possible to get it closer?

      Do you struggle with constipation at all or engage in anal sex? just ruling out possible causes. It does not look inflamed or anything so I wouldn't recommend antibiotics or anything yet, just letting it rest. Has there been any change?

    You probably lead a sedentary lifestyle. Apart from my other problems in the rectal area I do have a line like this that is way worse and I checked it with my home endoscope and the skin is terribly dry. It's probably a kind of sore spot from staying in one position all the time.
