worried, am I being stupid?

Went to the toilet today sorry for tmi... but was number 2 and there was a few spots of blood on the toilet paper and I also had a burning sensation.. Any ideas of what this could be?

Bright red blood is a good sign, you may have tore your bum a little bit.
I think it's called a fissure.
A lot of blood I think means it might be piles.

I had a little cut there before, my bum burned really bad for ages after. So I would wipe with wet tissue to prevent any infection after I had gone to the bathroom.
Once it heals up it can come back for every so often.
With me, I just noticed some blood on the tissue, my doctor did give me so cream to use but can't remember what it was called.
