Suffering From Jaundice

Our grandson is 4 weeks old, had jaundice as a newborn, and has some boil-like eruptions on his bottom near his anus. He no longer appears to have jaundice. Each time one of these has burst, a day or so later, a new one forms. The mum is using breast milk sometimes, as well as calendula oil in a warm wash. What should she be doing?

HI baby might be having boils due to stool passage which contaminates that area. Please apply a cream with zinc oxide after every stools and keep the perianal area dry.
