My poor just turned 3yo ds has had a tough time with rashes recently. He has always had a bit of eczema on his pubic bone which we have finally got a good cream for, but now he is suffering a very persistent anal rash. Its a red raw ring just around his anus which we have tried steroid creams for, anti fungal creams, antibiotics to rule out perianal strep, metanium, sudocream, vaseline - everything 😠tried different nappies, different wipes. Even tried potty training which lasted 3 days to no improvement and he isnt ready yet so we have gone back to nappies. Got our 3rd gp appointment to try more treatments but i wondered if anyone had similar experience? The rash is red, circular and sometimes branches out a bit with a few red spots, sometimes the skin has broken but hasnt bled. On pooping, he is OK whilst in the act, but immediately afterwards he is crying in pain and his bum cheeks flare up in a red widespread rash that is super sensitive to touch ( sometimes his scrotum too) im starting to wonder if its something allergy related that he is eating? But i didnt know if allergy or intolerance can spring up randomly at his age - and he also doesn't have any other symptoms of allergy. Im rambling a bit but im just so lost as how to help him - its horrible seeing him so uncomfortable.
