Suggest Remedy For Pimples Around The Anus Area And Fever

My 12mth old son has little pimples around anus area between butt cheeks. Has also had bit of fever today too. He has never had a nappy rash before but has started this week on Lactulose this week to help with his constipation. Could this be the cause?

Dear parent, this is most probably due to a staph aureus infection or due to a fungal infection. this is also the cause of the nappy rash. you should keep this area clean with soap and water and keep it dry as possible . you should apply an antibiotic ointement together with an antifungal ointement 5 times daily until the rash resolves . for the fever you can use acetaminophen or ibuprofen syrup 3 times daily
