What Causes Flesh Colored Bumps On Buttocks?

My 8 year old daughter has had 2 flesh colored small bumps on her right butt cheek for 2-3 years. Originally the pediatrician felt it was caused by a viral infection and it would go away in time. It has not! One of the bumps has changed to a hard white center with red around the outside of the bump. She is complaining that it hurts as well. Please help us figure out what is going on!!

Pediatrician 's  Response
They could be fungal infection. It is caused due to constant wetting of groin area.u can try topical antifungal ointments. It will take some six eight weeks for that. Keep the nappy area dry. Use only cotton under wears.
