Hello,
You are suffering from bloody lesions around the anus, butt crack area. The lesions discharge watery, blood mix type of secretion. it has been there for a couple of months. You have not mentioned anything about your sexual life activity, which type of relationship you have been into or whether you are sexually active presently or not.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP or urologist. Such bloody lesions may be indicative of sexually transmitted diseases like anal herpes, genital warts, HIV, etc. Other medical conditions that may manifest similar symptoms are anal fissures, hemorrhoids, etc. Treatment will depend on the evaluation of the symptoms and pathology. Get HPV, STD tests done, if positive you will be treated with oral antibiotics and antivirals.
If the medical condition is due to piles, anal fissure, hemorrhoids, etc., you will be treated accordingly. At present you should maintain your hygiene, stay away from all sexual activity for a couple of days while you are being treated. To get rid of the discomfort you can apply ointment Soframycin, ointment Zovirax on the area affected. Cold compression may help. Stay away from addictions if any. Wear soft cotton clothes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
