every time I put my 1 year old daughter in her highchair or car seat, she will push her bottom against the center restraint and keeps rubbing against her groin area as if it itches, there are no rashes at all. Her doctor says she is just uncomfortable, but now she would jump on my stomach and do the same type of rubbing. What is going on and how can I stop it?
Hi, itching at anal region could be due to worms infestation at perianal region, anal tear, infection at perianal region. You should do stool for routine microscopy and stool for ova/cyst test. Deworming should be done by giving Albendazole. If there is no improvement then and examination by surgery specialist doctor should be done to rule out perianal tear, infection. Also, history of loose stools should be taken, because loose stools if acidic in nature can also cause itching. Have a good day.
