In my experience its been best to just keep it clean, whether dry or moist, meaning usually a protectant cream like Calmoseptine helps.
Ottawa you've got company, I was the same age when I was going through it too. A few things you can try to calm with a bm is to hum or talk to yourself to loosen the muscles down there. Also leaning to a certain side may help and hovering as well. If its freshly sore, you can also help by applying some kind of lubrication like vasoline or preparation h with a finger cot. You should definitely make an appointment with a Colorectal Dr/Surgeon as they will give you a good diagnosis and remedy. Much better than emergency room/normal Dr.
