Could be an anal fissure.  VERY PAINFUL.  One gets a small tear in the skin around the anus.  This is caused by passing hard stools. The sphincter goes into spasm and the cycle goes around and around because the injury keeps getting worse.  You need to have your doctor actually look there.  Many physicians actually will never visually inspect the area.  If this is the problem, drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, a fiber/bulking agent to keep the stool soft, and a special formulation of nitroglycerin ointment (not the same formula used on heart patients) applied to the anal area at bedtime is a good start.
