What Causes Abscess And Rashes In The Vaginal Area Of A Baby?

My 18 month old daughter has an absest near her vaginal area and a rash that wont go away. I recently too her in to see her doctor they said it was an absest and a rash and proscribed me one ointment for the absest and another for the rash and gave me this clindamycin palmitate hydrochloride for oral solution, usp. The absest did great and is almost gone but the rash got worse and instead of little bumps that looks like a rash it looks like the ointment made them pop and their are a lot of red dots instead. Then a few days later I noticed little blisters on my daughters feet and hands and bumps on her legs and arms. I went back to the doctor and she said its scabies. But my concern is no one else has it in my house hold not me my husband or my 4 year old daughter nor my mom or mother in law that have taken care of my daughter. And it does not itch her at all, even after I did the treatment the ointment is suppose to make you itch and dry up the blisters and bumps and nothing happened at all her skin still looks the same. Is there something else it can be?

You should take care of skin and vaginal area and anal area by keeping area dry. It may be diaper rash as continuous contact with urine and stool. So you should use cotton cloth diaper while at home and area should be clean and dry after every passage of stool and application of zinc containing ointmnt may help.
