red ring around 4 year old anus

[Guest guest]

Hi -

My husband called me up after the kids bath tonight because of a very

red ring around my 4 year son's anus. The line that runs from that

area up to underneath his scrotum is very red as well. There are even

what looks like pimples on his butt cheeks. He has been complaining of

having trouble pooping and it hurting off and on for the last couple

of months. His most recent compaints were yesterday.

He is not on any supplements or chelation - I joined this group for

the benefit of my other son.

I'm going to call his pediatrician, but after a couple of days reading

this group I have a feeling the experts are all here.

Thanks for any help!!
