Question
A parent inquired about their child’s anal eczema, particularly the crying at night during urination and the hard stools. Past treatments with ointments had been ineffective. They wanted to know how to improve the situation, especially addressing the night-time crying issue.
Answer
Eczema is typically a dermatitis of the dermis and epidermis caused by a variety of internal and external factors, often related to allergies. In the acute phase, skin lesions appear as papules and blisters, while in the chronic phase, there may be lichenification. Treatment recommendations include avoiding scratching to prevent the spread of lesions or secondary infection. It is advisable to seek timely diagnosis and treatment at a regular hospital. For safety, it is recommended to use medication under the doctor’s instructions at a specialized hospital.
