Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Itching And Irritation On The Buttocks Of A Child?
My 7 year old complained of his bottom itching and I thought maybe he wasn t wiping well so I cleaned it out diaper cream it was red seemed irritated. Days went by he complained a few days later and I looked again wiped and seen what looked like small white pimples close to his anus I put homemade cream with coconut oil and essential oils. After that day he hadn t complained. A few days later he asked me to wipe him after the washroom I looked and the pimples look larger feel hard and are all around the anus. What could this possibly be???!!!
