What Causes White Spots Around The Anus Of An Infant?
My baby is 4 months old. No diaper rash, but has a tiny white dot/white head on the outer ridge of his anus. The Anya itself has always been a bit red since he was born, but no clear red/redder area around the white head. Should I be worried this is staph?

Hi,
It could be a small abscess or condition like Fordyce spots.
Consult pediatrician and get evaluated.
As of now, topical antibiotics like Mupirocin can be applied.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
