Dry and itchy bum

2025-03-21 04:38:47
My 2.5 year old son is scratching his bum uncontrollably. The minute we take of the pants he starts scratching. Not only the bum, all over the body he has that feeling but mostly bum. We recently shifted to Hyderabad, all of my family facing the dry lips and itchy fingers. Any suggestions of lotion or do we need to think of de-worming. Thanks

Or may be due to worms or constipation. Please visit a pediatrician for check up and treatment. Any moisturizer or a good brand can be used for dry skin.

Any good moisturising lotion will do if you think that it is because of only dry skin. But other causes are worm infestation or even scabies (if all over the body) Can deworm if not done in last 6 months. Need physical examination to see if any lesions similar to scabies is present. If so, needs appropriate treatment
