Long time: 10 days - it might be time to bring him to his doctor to see if there is a treatable cause of his diarrhea. Some viral causes can last that long- however, you seem concerned- and his red but may be related to a change in the colon from the diarrhea. Your doctor might also be able to give advice on how to deal with that.

Diarrhea for ten : Days is too long without intervention. Red bottom is going to get worst due to the acidic environment from diarrhea itself ! You can apply an antacid suspension on the affected areas to make it more soothing . Make sure it is not just irritated . The skin may be infected with bacteria or yeast. Get it checked out and start treatment early before it is too late.
