Hi!
It could be normal if you're irrigating or somehow damaging the skin near the surface of your bum. I think you should talk to your doctor if you can't think of a definitive reason for it happening. It's definitely better to know for sure. I'd give your doctor a call so you don't have to keep worrying. Especially if it's nothing. Life is hard enough. Take care. ❤️
