My 8 month old boy has a small pin prick like rash a cross his right side of his stomach . He has also recently had a virus and then an infection, which the doctor described as a face infection. He said that it had not gone to his chest or ears. He has been given medication for the infection. He also has very bad nappy rash which does not seem to be going away.

Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen or due to cold. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. If these increase the n consult a dermatologist for higher treatment.
