Usually it is: If the blood is bright red the implication is that it is being generated near the end of the GI tract so we think hemorrhoids. You could have an anal fissure or two and that would leave blood on the outside of a hard stool (think of a barber pole).

Yes: The blood you see is due to your anal irritation from the diarrhea.
