hi, my 3 year old son has started complaining of an itchy bum, after having a look i can see a dark spot close to his anus that wasnt there previously.He was in hospital last week due to a bad chest infection and is now on arethromycin (know ive spelt that wrong sorry!) and wondering if his trip to the hospital has anything to do with it and what is actually causing the spot and itchiness, please can you help?
Does the child pass loose stools. It can cause perianal redness. Also parasitic infestation can present like this. Local area examination by a doctor is needed and if there is no local cause albendazole syp and local care will suffice.
