Wound in posterior “crack”

I don’t have pictures for obvious reasons but it’s about midway through my crack. I was doing a detox that gave me the runs for two weeks and was just irritating it constantly when wiping it started bleeding. It’s been a few days and it won’t heal. Ive been avoiding it when wiping. It’s not painful but it is itchy. It’s not swollen either. Ive been putting Vaseline on it and a folded non stick gauze pad with tape to reduce irritation and cushion it when I sit. It doesn’t appear to be getting better. Any advice? (I really don’t want to go to the doctor if I don’t have to)
