What Could Small Hole Above Anus Oozing Yellow Puss And Blood Indicate?
hi, I was at the toilet and was wiping my anus when I noticed there was yellow puss and blood on the paper, it seems I have a small hole above my anus. im guessing the puss and blood came from that, I have no idea what it is or how it got there. its not itchy or sore or anything?

Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of bacterial infection(perianal folliculitis). This area harbours a lot of bacterial flora, therefore can potentially get infected, easily.
I would advice that you get a prescription for an oral antibiotic from your local care practitioner (my choice would have been penicillin group of antibiotics e.g Amoxycillin).
An OTC topical antibacterial e.g mupirocin twice daily is also advisable for topical application over the spot.
