Fissures Piles related to Skin?

Otherwise normally healthy 26 Male no family history of anything like this.

Attending my local GP around Jan/Feb time to report some bleeding on the toilet paper after moving my bowels. GP asked about my current situation, Job, Diet and all the usual things. Bleeding as always been bright red in colour.

My GP then performed a rectal exam and said it all looked and felt as it should and told me to stop Googling .

I explained that I noticed bleeding after some straining as prior to this I lived on painkillers for about a month as a result of a problematic root canel issue thankfully all sorted now. My bleeding has always been painless apart from a few occasions where i can feel like a rough sensation when passing the stool and then some itching after it.

My GP put this down to perhaps a Fissure and instructed me with water and diet improvement. Now around this time I started to come out in a skin problem affecting my arms and legs (eczema, Psoriasis like) and now most recently via a telephone appointment a skin fungal infection affecting my groinal and general bum and around anus area which is now pink and red in skin tone

Fast forward to today, I'm still experiencing some bleeding even with an improved diet however along with battling a skin irritation around that area that is being treated with antifungal and hydrocortisone medication cream. I also notice at times a cut at around the top of the bum where it splits but I cant see this causing issues when moving motions. This heals and then reappears. I sometimes have a slight pain around this area when I sit down or excerise (do lots of walking) but this goes away very quickly. To be honest it's more like a stinging feeling for a few moments then goes

My question to rap this up is could this skin issue that I'm having be connected to this rectal bleeding when passing a motion or perhaps be causing the fissure not to heal. I've tried looking closely at my anus but cannot see ahy obvious tearing around it

I feel healthy otherwise.. Anyone care to offer help, apologies for tmi at times
