It sounds as if your gecko has had a rectal prolapse that has scabbed over.  Gecko's can get these these from straining excessively from a variety of causes including intestinal parasites and from dietary causes.  In females it can also be caused by straining to pass eggs.

This can be a serious problem and it would be best to have your gecko seen by a veterinarian.
