How To Cure The Butt Hole Broken Skin That Is Oozing And Pus Filled Always ?
so we have taken my 2 yr old to the doctor many times about his "butt hole" area. it has broken skin, bleeding from the broken skin it ozzes and gets pussy. the doctors continueto tell us it is a yeast infection. we have tryed the over the counter yeast creams for girls and lotromin and butt paste and yet nothing has helped he has had this problem for over a year. i was thinking that it could be an allergy. they also say he has exzema and yet nothing seems to help it and it doent look or feel like a typical exzema so i thought it might all be related. when he was a baby we had to put him on this special formula because he couldn't have the regular. any thoughts

There are literally dozens of reasons for the symptoms your son has, but bacterial infection, fungal infection and allergy are the topmost. Other reasons include are the irritation that accompanies allergies, trauma and specific nutrient deficiencies, eg. zinc deficiency.
You should be seeking help from a dermatologist and ask them a premium question with photos of the skin lesions. I would recommend not using steroids or other non-specific creams. Better see the right professional.
