What Causes Red Bumps On The Pubic Area?
Hello, my son is two years old and has begun getting red bumps and what appear to be whiteheads in his pubic area. They clear up over time and re emerge again. Recently i saw some under his nose above his lips. We took him to a night clinic and they gave us antifungal cream but it does not seem to be working. Any ideas of what it might be?

Hi..by what you quote, I feel that this could be an eczema. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses.
But Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
