Suggest Treatment For Fecal Smearing Behavior In A Child

Hi. My 8 year old Autistic son keeps playing with his stools on a daily basis. He keeps digging around his bottom with his fingers and on occasions has made it bleed. Within the last few days, he has had a jelly like substance around his bottom. Should I seek advice from our GP or is this normal. I am worried that he is doing/done damage to himself with the digging
