Answer 1

When you take a shower next, wash the area and feel around. If you feel anything protruding, just like an odd bump around the opening, chances are you could. Any blood when you wipe? Keep the area clean and get some Annusol (very soothing, will stop the itching and ease the pain). Don't scratch. Our bathroom sink is right next to the toilet, so it's a tad easier, but when I go, I get the toilet paper wet before I wipe. Cleans it better, but it's also easier on sore tissues.
