A member asked:

My 18 month old daughter has scratched her butt cheeks and now has scabs. what's the best thing to put on them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Local wound care: Local wound care usually involves washing with a gentle soap and water twice daily, applying antibiotic ointment and monitoring for signs of infection. Increased redness, swelling and pain, especially when combined with the appearance of pus indicates an infection which should be evaluated by a primary care physician.
