What is the white substance near the baby's anus?

Patient's question:

Girl, noticed white substance near the anus, a bit like paste, looks like it can be wiped off, but in fact it can't be wiped off. The child does not feel any discomfort for the time being, does not know what it is, what to do

Doctor's answer:

A newborn baby, if the mark cannot be wiped off, should be taken to the hospital's colorectal department for examination. If there is a problem, early treatment should be given. Advice: My suggestion is to always keep the child's perianal area clean and hygienic, and to disinfect appropriately. Breastfeeding should be maximized as much as possible. Pay close attention and do not be careless. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
