Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Based on your description, it appears that your mother could be having contact dermatitis around the anal region, which could have aggravated to formation of abrasion. It would be better if the area is examined by a Surgeon or Dermatologist, so that appropriate care that needs to be taken along with medications could be advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
