Brief Answer:
it's a perianal fistula

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

this is a perianal fistula which is a little tunnel inside the tissues close to the anus. This is usually caused by inflammation. An infection may cause pus collection (perianal abscess). Other causes are also possible like inflammatory bowel disease, surgery, etc. When the pus is drained this tunnel can be left behind. In your case there are two openings, one in the intestinal area (internal) and another one in the skin (external). If this tunnel is patent then intestinal content may leak to the skin through the external opening. Pus and blood may also appear when you strain or spontaneously. Surgical correction is required in most cases.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!
