Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
I think your condition could be a fistula in ano. means a tract connecting anal canal and surrounding skin. One of the reason could be prolonged infected anal glands, crohn's disease. You need to get operated for this by removing whole tract.
Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. These three tiny holes just above anal opening may be fissures . As you mentioned in your query that there is fluid ( red with mucus) with smell means fecal matter . The best way is to consult a surgeon and get his opinion as physical examination is very important. Good luck. Dr. HET
