Poo like clay - constipation?

My 5yo has soiled his pants every day for over a week. Poo is constantly coming out but it's like clay so gathers round his bum. The skin is very red now. I'm trying lactulose to see if the poo becomes more normal. I've put vaseline on the sore bits and not using bubble bath in case it irritates.

I'm waiting for a docs appointment. In the meantime does this sound like standard constipation? Is there anything else I should do?
