What Causes Tiny White Growth On Anus In Children?
My son has had a tummy bug since Sunday but he s been out of sorts for a several days now and I noticed that he has little white bits around his anus. At first I thought it was just flaking skin as he d had a few not nice nappies but they are still there now. He doesn t have a temperature. But he s still off his food although has stopped being sick now. Could he have some kind of worms maybe?
