Start with your primary care physician for a thorough history and physical - some basic labs may be helpful. If an appointment cannot be secured soon, an urgent care visit may be in order. Of course if pain is persistent, excruciating and limits your activity, and or comes with fever, you may choose emergency room evaluation. Best wishes.

One possibility is what's called a pilonidal cyst. It's often a red swollen area near tailbone around upper buttocks. It may drain some fluid or blood and can become infected draining pus. If there actually is "fecal matter" you can have a fistula (tract) extending to anal canal. You should have this checked by your physician. Sometimes drainage, and/or antibiotics are needed.

Possibilities include a perianal abscess, infected anal fissure, thrombosed hemorrhoid. If you have a history of inflammatory bowel disease such as Chrohn's, a fistula is another possibility. Do go to the hospital emergency room ASAP where prompt attention and appropriate consultants are available.

Symptoms are suggesting an anal fissure +/- hemorrhoids with other conditions possible. Having an exam with your doc would be best, avoid constipation at all cost
