Causes of pain while defecating

I am encountering extreme pain while defecation. It feels like the stool I am passing is large and the anal opening has become tight. Upon examining further I found something like a pimple or fissure which is causing more pain. Should I try any medication first or directly visit a doctor? What specialist doctor should I consult ?
