Suggest Remedy For Hard Area On Bottom Cheeks
My 6 month old baby boy has a hard area with slight swelling on one of his bottom cheeks right where the cheeks come together and near his anus. The hard area is quite large. The other cheek right beside it is totally soft as normal. He has been in pain when being held or sitting for a few days but I only noticed the hardness this evening. In between times he seems fine and is his usual happy self. He just started on purees about 1.5 weeks ago. He is breastfed. He has been pooing and weeing no problems. What could this be?
