What Causes Inflamed White Headed Sore On The Anus?
my 2-month old has what looks like an inflamed white-head pimple right outside his anus. It feels hard, is red on the outside and is white in the center. He doesn't seem bothered by it when I wipe him with a baby wipe. It's pretty large; roughly 2-3x the size of his anus. What is it?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pediatrician and get done
1. Clinical examination of anus
2. Ultrasound examination of local part.
In 2 months old child, congenital anal deformity can cause similar kind of swelling.
Another possibility is infection.
So better to first diagnose your child properly and then start appropriate treatment.
