Hi,

Your four year old child is having rash near anal area. The rash is itchy. There is possibility of candidal infection with secondary bacterial infection. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. After thorough examination, he might prescribe antifungal like fluconazole 50 mg daily for few days with antibiotic like cephalaxin 125 mg thrice a day for 5 days. And advise to apply antibiotic cream like fusidic acid followed by antifungal cream like clotrimazole. To avoid soap at bath. You can use dettol for bath. After few days treatment, he might be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
