Question : Hi,

My 5 and a half month baby has yellowish or creamish kind of pimple on her clitoris. I noticed it today when I saw her scratch her diaper. She does not have temperature or anything unusual going on. Could this just be a diaper rash or is it something else?

Thanks,
XXXX

Dear Ms XXXX

From the description given by you it could be folluculitis which could have possibly occurred due to diaper rash. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination.

Would suggest you to send me clinical photograph for further assessment.

Take care
