What Could Be The Extra Hole Between Anus And The Tail Bone?

My friends 2 yr old daughter has an extra hole between her anus and the bottom of her tailbone, it was noticed about 6 months ago, and has recently gotten irritated.
I don't know if there's fluid leaking from it or what, just that its a tiny hole down there.

And ideas?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This is a congenital sinus and should be excised-in-toto before it gets infected.
