How To Treat Recurring Boil On Buttocks In A Baby?
Hi doctors! My 4 month old baby boy has recurring boil on the same spot on his bum near his anus. It started when he was 2 1/2 months, he had antibiotics and it went away. Then it came back again so we brought him to a pediatrician and he had another antibiotics again. It just keeps coming back. What should we do? Thanks!
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, of course this could be due to some bacterial infection and this may not need any antibiotic and it may comes around even with the anti-inflammatory drugs only, but care need to be taken for good hygiene, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
