So we do have good news and we also have bad news.
The good news is .. the pediatrician is almost a hundred percent sure the "hemorrhoids" are in fact only skin tags!
They have since shrunk immensely in size since last Friday (when I noticed them) and are now nearly unnoticeable!
Now the bad news.
The pediatrician prescribed Brenna medication to supposedly help clear the rash from her bumhole around the tags and such. The directions said to only apply the medication twice a day, as it is very strong and has a steroid in it (this is to speed up healing time.)
First application and diaper change, no difference.
Now the second time I applied it and changed her diaper ... this was right before her bath ... I opened her diaper and the rash has SPREAD to her lady parts and all around the area. The color is nearly so red it is purple! And what's worse, she was crying very badly for like 20 minutes before I decided to change her, which means that the rash is now painful for her
I feel so fucking horrible I am sick to my stomach. She absolutely LOVES her baths at night, and tonight, she screamed through it. Anytime I'd even go near her bum, she would scream at the top of her lungs. The rash didn't bother her until after the second application of the cream, and I don't know if it's the cream that has made it worse, or if the medication itself just isn't the proper treatment for her rash.
Either way, I am calling her doctor AS SOON AS I wake up tomorrow. I can't stand seeing her in pain .. it's killing me
