When I wipe while on the toilet, I often notice that I get small streaks of blood because there's this scab that accidentally gets scraped off when wiping. Is this type of bleeding a concern?

Is there blood in the toilet or on the stool?
Is it just after a bm?

Sounds like it could be a fissure or a hemmorhoid.

I would guess it's a fissure. Is that a cause for concern?

A concern if it gets worse or infected. You can squat over a mirror to see if you have one.

You can try otc medication or ask your doc for a rx.
