Brief Answer:
It could be Fissure in ano

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Soreness in the anus is due to fissure in ano,a crack at the edge which causes pain while passing hard stools.
Bleeding can be due to fissure or haemorrhoids or both.
First,you should take high fiber diet,drink plenty of liquids,eat fresh fruits.It will cure your condition.
Add laxative syrup if there is no help with above measures.
Then,you should get clinically examined by surgeon and proceed further.
