What Could Dry Rash Spots On The Buttocks Of A Child Be?
My 5. Year old son has maybe 4-5 red circular dry rash spots on and between his butt cheeks. He now has two on his inner thighs. The doctor wasn t sure if it was a fungal thing or exzema. We have tried nystop powder that seemed to work a little in reducing the size and redness but didn t really clear it up. I am now trying a hydrocortisone cream to see if that works. I just put him to bed so we ll see in the morning but I am wondering if anyone could tell me what it is. Thanks!

Hi,
Those areas are hot and wet and can cause fungal infection or maceration. This is like you Rub your knees against each other for a long time and placing hot water. It will be red and pain. So it is possible that your child can have the 2 things. Come back to your doctor and try another treatment.
