My baby has two perianal abscesses, we consulted and they were drained. What can I apply to help the abscesses not come back

Question

He had an antibiotic and then drainage...it's been 3 weeks since the drainage. The abscesses are better, but they are still raw and bleed when he has a bowel movement, we apply hot water compresses. But we are trying to prevent and avoid bleeding to help him heal.

Hello, You could apply a barrier cream such as Cutibase cream after making the compresses and at diaper changes. This cream is a very good choice in pediatrics and will protect the skin so that it can heal more easily. Hope to see you soon!
