What Do Black Streak In Stools With Little Bleeding Suggest?

I pooped this morning and it was a normal light brown color but at the end of it was a streak of black. I checked on it and it looked like blueberry peel. Could that be it? Also, yesterday I passed two big ones and there was bright red blood when I wiped and it only happened once.

welcome.
it may be anal fissure,that causes pain during bowel movements.
generally it don't lead to more serious problems.
Most anal fissures heal with home treatment after a few days or weeks.
if it does not heal up to 2 - 3 months consult surgeon for examination.
Anal fissures are caused by injury or trauma to the anal canal due to constipation ,when you try to pass a hard stool.repeated diarrhea.
take high fiber diet,whole grain food,fresh fruits,leafy veg.
avoid junk foods,
doctor may prescribe oral & cream to apply topically.
