My 7 year old has a red ring around his anus. He complains that it hurts and stings. He has had this same problem before. I have in the past put baby Desitin on it to help. I think it may be from sweat and maybe a wet swimsuit, but I m not sure. Is this the best way to treat it?
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. It seems your baby has Candidiasis, that's why Clotrimazole or Candid powder also can be useful. Try to do air bath also. Avoid wet and synthetic clothes. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you and your child good health.
