Hello,
The first possibility is allergic condition and it could be due to food, second it could be fungal infection and third, is worm infestation which also pretty common.
All these conditions can be managed on tentative basis with the following medicines:
1) For the allergic condition Levocetirizine drug three times in day can be tried
2) For fungal infection Miconazole ointment for local application
3) For worm infestation, Mebendazole tablet every week (Three dose)
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
