My 6 year old occasionally suffers from a really itchy bottom . It happens once every 4 -5 months for a few days then goes . It usually happens when he s had a small amount of mucus in his stools . I have had a good look at his stools to see if there are any worms , but never see any
Hi. As per your case history of itching on buttocks, my treatment advice is - 1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral fluconazole taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
