I have a small tear near my anal area, but it is no where close to the actual sphincter area. I don't know what caused it, but could it just be a freak thing, or me just aging?

I did have one near the actual opening and it was a bit uncomfortable, but it eventually healed.

Since my abscess event, I've been super sensitive to these types of things. It's not a fistula is it? Judging by the google pictures, it seems like a fissure. Could age and weakness in my skin caused this?

Thanks.
