[|Human|] My son has had a tummy bug since Sunday but he s been out of sorts for a several days now and I noticed that he has little white bits around his anus. At first I thought it was just flaking skin as he d had a few not nice nappies but they are still there now. He doesn t have a temperature. But he s still off his food although has stopped being sick now. Could he have some kind of worms maybe?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Your history points towards a condition called anal wart. It is common in infants. I would advise leaving it alone. Observe for size and number. If the size or number in eases or if the tag bleeds then take your child to a pediatric surgeon for removal or cautery. Also seek a dermatologist for expert opinion and ruling out of a contagious and treatable condition known as molluscan. Wart if left on its own will take a year to resolve spontaneously.
