Does Moisture Or Dryness Cause Red Rash And Crack In Anus?
my 4yr old has been battling a rash in his anus and crack area for a couple months, his doctor seemed to think he had yeast infection and we have been treating for that but it still seems red and he has a new little cut in the upper part of his crack...is his area to moist or to dry for this to happen?

Hi,
Due to lack of proper hygiene at this area like moisture, non airy may precipitate bacterial infection or yeast.
Go for regular cleaning the part properly and made it dry after shower.
Apply triple action cream.
There seems of having bacterial infection as well so go for one oral antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Rue out possibility of having worm infestation.
Ok and take care.
