Can Soreness In Buttocks Be Due To An Allergic Reaction?

My daughter 8yrs old complained of a sore bottom before bed. I checked her backside and found that she had a very bright red ring around her anus. Now she has had nothing to eat out of the norm and no severe bowl movement infact she does not remember going today. I am concerned due to the pain and lack of possible allergic reaction. Her brothers both have diaheria from a stomach bug they are combating. Ben 3 is pretty much better but Miles 9mos is going on 4 days or so of diaheria. Could this be related?

Hello
Thank you for posting on HCM
From your description, it seems you have got candidial intertrigo, a sort of fungal skin infection.
I would recommend you consult a dermatologist for proper management.
I generally recommend proper course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole along with local application of sertaconazole or luliconazole cream over affected areas.
Take oral antihistaminics for itching as required.
Maintain hygiene and avoid use of tight and synthetic undergarments
Hope this will take care of your problem
Thank you
