Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a daughter who is 15 months old and she has been having this rednes from the anus to the vagina and she itches a lot have tried so many medicines and nothing seems to work,the anti fugal medicines and even creams what might be her problem?Now she has been having diarrhea for the last one month what might be her problem?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that she might be having a condition called Acrodermatitis Enteropathica where in due to zinc deficiency there will be skin changes like what you have mentioned along with diarrhea. The kid might not also gain weight well.
If it is simple fungal infection then it should have gotten better with anti fungal creams. Moreover it will not cause diarrhea of 1 month duration like this.
I suggest you consult your pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist with this tip.
