The blood in anus or around anus or from anus may be due to these reasons , these includes.'

2 Fistula in anus as this is most ( 2nd ) common cause but in this condition usually patient feel pain and usually discharge ( blood mixed with stool ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a doctor.
