Pilonidal sinus or perianal fistula?

I need help with clarifying what this is...Does fistula always have an opening on the skin? or its a scar after a pilonidal cyst drain scar post surgery? I couldn't find any openings at all. Neither the Colo rectal surgeon.

i had my abscess drained in early 2011 through outpatient surgery. The abscess was located almost on the crease line slightly above the anus. Several years passed, in 2019 im facing trouble almost every couple of months.

When i get too gassy or constipated, it bleeds in that area and heals on its own within a day or 2. I don't even see any external opening, all I see is a tiny red cut, or a tiny red line on the crease line slightly above the anus. If i ride bike or workout in gym, it bleeds exactly in the scar area. No opening like Fistula or something. All i see always is a tiny red cut in the crease line slightly above the anus.
