Why does a child have sticky brown poo and sore bum after going to the toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet/irritation: If your child is otherwise healthy and doing well in growth and development, i would imagine this episode is isolated to diet and contact irritation of the anal area. Stool (poo) has waste products that can irritate and digest the sensitive skin areas of your child's bum. Rinsing with water after and "pat" dry can help (or sitz bath). Antibacterial ointment or vaseline can relieve irritation.
