#asktheexperts Dear Sir/Madam, My son is now 2 months and 18 days old. He has redness around his anal area, and when I gently check the opening, I can see some redness inside as well. Initially, I consulted a doctor who prescribed Cucral Mu cream and advised applying a small amount inside the anal opening. However, as my baby is very young, I am unsure how to apply it safely. After a few days, when there was no improvement, I consulted another doctor. He advised applying only Dormadew cream to the external area and not inside the anal opening. I have been using Dormadew cream externally for the last 2–3 days. The redness on the outside has improved, but the redness inside the anal opening is still visible. Could you please guide me on what I should do next? Is any treatment required for the internal redness, or should I continue with the external cream? Thank you, Sir/Madam.
