Patient's question:
There is a small black bump on the baby's anus. In the past few days, the baby has been complaining of pain. The baby is 25 months old and has a bowel movement twice a day. It's not constipated. Previously, the baby had an anal abscess, but there wasn't this black bump back then.Doctor's answer:
If this small bag is purple and a bit hard, it might be a thrombotic external hemorrhoid. It could be caused by the baby straining too hard during a bowel movement, leading to local subcutaneous blood vessel rupture and blood accumulation under the skin. You can use a warm towel to massage the area to improve blood circulation and promote the dissolution of the thrombus. Apply Yunnan Baiyao hemorrhoid cream or Bear bile hemorrhoid cream locally. It's best to go to a formal Grade III-A hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment.
