Brief Answer:
Could be due to a fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It is possible that your child has a fungal infection. If that is the case, application of candid (clotrimazole) powder would provide relief. Keep the area clean and dry.
