Question
The baby has a black pimple on the anus, and the baby is experiencing pain. The baby is 25 months old, has two bowel movements a day, and the stool is not dry. The baby has a history of perianal abscesses, but this black pimple has not been seen before.
Answer
The black pimple could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid, caused by the baby straining during bowel movements, leading to regional subcutaneous vascular rupture and blood pooling. It is recommended to use a warm towel to massage the area to promote blood circulation and thrombus dissolution. Additionally, you can apply Yunnan Baiyao Hemorrhoid Ointment or Bear’s Bile Hemorrhoid Ointment locally. However, it is best to still visit a regular three-level A hospital for examination and treatment.
