Hi

This may be a yeast infection or this may be suggestive of parasites like pin worms. Are there other members of he family with similar presentation?

You may apply petroleum jelly over the area especially prior to bowel movement to aid in bowel movement and to avoid direct contact of the stools with the skin. Also, applying 1% hydrocortisone cream over the area once daily may help. Wash the area with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil and keep the area moisturized by applying a moisturizer like vitamin E. Dryness and irritation may aggravate the condition.
