What Causes A Split From The Top Of The Buttcrack To The Genitals?

My 2 year old son has a split from the top of his buttcrack all the way down to his genitals. It hurts him to sit and it's bled before (this is not the first time it's appeared). I can't get it to go away and if it does happen to lighten up, it comes back pretty fast. What can I do? Any ideas as to what this is?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Your cholesterol is not that high to be very worried. He may be have hard stool or constipation.
I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic. In the first meeting, I advise my patients to go on lifestyle modifications for three months. I advise them to drink more fluids. You can discuss this with your treating Doctor.
For the next 2-3 months, try to follow the following guidelines. Then get your baby checked again.
1.High fibre diet, green leafy vegetables, fruits, beetroots, cabbage,fresh juices,yogurts,fresh dahi.
2.Cut down the processed food. White bread,rice, doughnuts, pizza should be completely avoided. Give him more raw salads with olive oil.
3.A 40 minute physical activity every day like morning walk, evening walk or a visit to the playground or swimming pool.
4.Dufalac 1 tea spoon daily for 1 month.
5.For healing you can use Pilex ointment -apply before and after evacuation 4 times a day for 7 days.
Start on these changes and get back to me in 2 to 3 months. Wish your son good health.
