Small Child, Sore Red Anus, Pain On Passing Stools. Using Metanium Cream. Cure?
Hi, Thanks for writing to health care magic. I suggest you to not use any nappy and keep the area exposed and dry. Do not use excessive soap for cleaning the area. Do not rub the area with cloth etc for cleaning instead keep the baby under running tap water to clean the area. Application of oil or zinc containing creams may help If there is no improvement with these simple measures some times your doctor may prescribe antibiotic or antifungal creams. Hope this helps. Take care.
