What Causes Red Rashes On The Anal Region In A Child?
My lil 23 month old grandson has a red raised rash around his butt hole with white pimple looking dots. After searching the photos on the net it looks like a yeast infection. He has Nystatin Ointment from a rash when he was a baby, will this help? And should we give him lots of yogurt? What is it caused from and how can we prevent it?

Hello,
The symptoms of your child seem to be related to a yeast infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream for local application such as antifungal Nystatin cream.
I also recommend keeping the area clean and dry. I suggest using cotton loose clothes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
