General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
I can understand the feeling a Mother has .
The baby is just 16 months old.
I would like you to examine the peri-anal area , if there is any fissure or excoriation / abrasion of the skin. This area drains into the inguinal / groin lymph nodes.
If the finding is positive request your Doctor to have a look at this and a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines will cure this problem.
If there is no such findings, you can request for an ultrasonography and guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. This will give the perfect diagnosis and a way for a further treatment.
I find this answer helpful
