Is It Normal To Have Bumps On My Butt And Strange Mucus In Stool?

Hi, I have currently been noticing some strange mucus in my stools lately. I think it is mucus but I am not sure. I have some photos. I am worried about this. Is it normal? I also have a few small bumps on my butt, not having this before. I just returned from a trip to the amazons in Brasil. I also just had a cold which I am recovering from now. Please if you can describe to me what this is and whether it is normal or not? Thank you very much.

Hi
I read carefully all your concerns and I would recommend to run fecal analysis like coproculture (bacterial infection), ova and parasites, blood work
I am recommended you these exams because I suspect to endemic infection in Brasil.
So, you should run these exams and after we can discuss about the diagnosis.
wishing you the best
