Question
Could the brown pouch on a 1-year-old baby’s anus be hemorrhoids?
Answer
Currently, it is not considered hemorrhoids; it is more likely related to blood blisters due to minor fissures in the anal venous area. It is recommended to continue using PP powder for regional cleaning for the child, while also ensuring they consume plenty of fresh fruits and water, maintaining smooth bowel movements, and avoiding constipation. Additionally, since the child’s buttocks are sensitive and delicate, pay close attention to the hygiene of this area. Proper care should be maintained to avoid any issues, and keeping the area dry is essential.
