Sounds like a hemmorhoid to me, but I'd keep an eye on it. Sometimes if I have a large painful BM, it happens to me. If this is a first time, then I wouldn't stress about it -- but keep an eye on it. You can also call your doctor if you want reassurance. I doubt this has anything to do with the tea.
I've heard of a modified cleanse, but I guess I don't get it. I thought the cleanse was to clean out your system -- how does eating 1 regular meal a day help this at all?
Yikes!

External hemorrhoids- usually present as a painful lump just outside the anus. These are filled with clots, which can at times ulcerate through the skin leading to ongoing bleeding. This blood is typically bright red but can be somewhat darker. This can occur in any age group.
