What Causes Red Itchy Bumps On Anus Area?
Hello, my 2.5 year old son has a bright red ring around his anus, it looks very sore and is itchy. He has had this on and off for a few months now. We have used an anti fungal, which made it worse, and some nappy cream. It gets somewhat better but never completely goes. He is recently toilet trained but refuses to poop anywhere but the nappy and I think it s because this is causing discomfort. Any idea what it could be?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some skin infection mainly dermatitis producing red ring and itching around anus.
As he is habit of having poop in nappy again precipitate infection due to no proper cleaning.
Clean local part with running water every time and apply triple action cream.
Ok and take care.
