My 3 months old baby has a red perineal raphe and in place it goes inside the anus it has changed the colour to white. When he was 7 weeks I have switched to formula, and week later he has beed diagnosed with reflux. He gets now a 10mg Ranitidine 3 times a day. After first week of treatment he started being constipated once in a while. At the moment his stool has a form like normal adults one, but soft. He also seems like having difficulties while doing it -  becomes red when he is pushing and cries straight away. Shall I go to my GP to consult this redness or it is just irritation which will get better? Thank you
Hi, the red perineal rash is due to irritation cause by acid present in stool.don't worry it will become better as stool consistency and frequency became normal.....thanks
