hi,
Welcome To HCM and Thanks For Asking Your Query here
From Your Medical history it is very likely that you might have a anal skin tag , or external Hemorrhoid which are most commonly caused by chronic constipation or diarrhea
skin tag however does not bleed a lot but if their location is such that they get rubbed easily they may bleed
for many people skin tag are harmless and doesn't hurt and require no treatment unless you want them to remove for aesthetic purpose
you should not worry as these can be treated with simple medication and life style changes , few cases may require a simple surgical procedure which is also very successful
but if you don't have any history of constipation or diarrhea and otherwise healthy person with regular and normal bowel movement than i would strongly suggest you to see a Anorectal surgeon to get it examine properly to rule out whether it is a skin tag or external hemorrhoid or any other ano rectal Condition
so Don't be Hesitate and go for an check up
i hope you will get well soon
Thanks Again
