What Do Tiny Black Specks In Stool Indicate?

Hello, my name is Massimo and I suffered from diarrhea in the last two days. I noticed that together with mucus on the toilet paper i find several tiny black specks, like pepper or coffee powder. I also have a burning feeling that makes wiping a painful process. The days preceding the diarrhea attack i had sticky smelly stool. Is this something i should be worrying about ?

Thanks in andvance!
