Patient's question:
My sister's child has been complaining of buttock pain recently, and it also hurts when he has a bowel movement. However, when I checked his buttocks today, I noticed a bit of redness around the anus. I'd like to ask, what could be the reason for a 4-year-old child's eye closure during activity?Doctor's answer:
If a child's buttocks are red, it may be due to perianal eczema or changes caused by frequent bowel movements and the use of diapers. The suggestion is to apply triamcinolone acetonide and econazole cream externally to improve the symptoms, and to reduce the use of diapers during the day. It is also important to maintain regular bowel movements. If there are abnormal bowel movements, it is recommended to take Bifidobacterium triple live powder. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, reduce the intake of junk food, and avoid overly salty, sweet, or spicy foods. Do not drink beverages, and drink more plain water. Clean the child's buttocks daily.
