Brief Answer: detailed below Detailed Answer: Hello. Thank you for the query. If you are certain that this is stool(not pus with blood), the most probable reason is fistula between the intestine and skin. It may appear due to inflammatory bowels disease (Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis). Please consult gastrologist and do not wait with it. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards
