Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your child has developed cracks around anus due to chronic diarrhea. As you have put child on dietary restrictions, there will be control of loose motions and cracks also. At present, ask your child to do gentle wiping of area around anus after every stool. In addition, you may apply any steroid ointment as Beclomethasone for healing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help you further.
