Suggest treatment for painful lumps in the anus of a child
Patient: my grandaughter is two, she has two lumps by her anus that bleed when she scratches them , they are obviously itchy. The specialist said he is going to burn them off but has not told the parents what it is, what caused this etc, they need to know to stop it happening in the future Doctor: Hi... By what you quote I feel that they could be viral warts. Probably that's the reason why the physician has advised cauterization. But if possible try to upload an image of the area. So that I can guide you more appropriately. I am telling this because, skin conditions are best diagnosed after directly seeing them.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
