What Causes Red Welts Around The Buttocks?
my daughter was at nursery and when she woke up she had a rash which then got worse. took her to doctors who said it might be fungal infection or allergy. we gave her the steroid cream and in the middle of the night she woke up crying covered in a red rash. gave her calpol and piriton. when she woke up it had completely disappeared. had no symptoms during the day but when she woke up this morning she had a few red welts around her bottom. what could this be? thanks

Dear parent,
You have not mentioned age of the child.
By your description it seems she has some allergic eruption. Keep in touch with the doctor. Some times it may take a few visits to come to a diagnosis.
