Can An Itchy And Swollen Anus In A Child Be A Sign Of An Internal Hemorrhoid?
My 8 yr old just had a normal bowel movement, no pain, no bleeding, nothing out of the ordinary except he has been having some rectal itching. He asked me to look at his anus and he has peri anal swelling in a circle around the anus, when i push on it I can see blue under the skin indicating blood. Is this internal hemorrhoid?
