What Causes Rash On Anal Area In A Child?
My 3 year old son, who is potty trained has a rash on his behind near his anal area. We just noticed it today. What possibly could it be and can we get something over the counter to stop the itching? Also if you have an idea what it may be, what are some possible symptoms?

Hi, this rash can be diaper rash or due to increased frequency of stools. Use zinc oxide cream like rashfree cream for few days and it will be alright. Take care.
