Infant Having Rash On Bottom, Huge, Painful, Puss Coming Out. Cure?
Hello. My 22 month old has some sort of diaper type rash on her bottom. It s not really a rash but more like giant pimples . She only gets one at a time but they are huge and very painful. She walks funny when she gets on and does not like being carried when she has one. We had to pop one the other day and we squeezed a lot of pus out. The pus was about the size of a quarter. She has another one now and it has made her one bum cheek look larger than the other. It has not formed a head yet so I can t pop it. Any idea what this is?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on health care magic As you think it is not diaper rash It is skin infection and they are foruncles due to bacterial infection like Staphyllococcus. It requires treatment with antibiotic like ampiclox. Better consult a pediatrician/dermotologist and get correct treatment Hope this answer will serve your purpose Please feel free to ask any more queries if required Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD;DCH Associate professor of pediatrics
