Suggest Remedy For Diaper Rash With Yellow, Painful Hard Lump In An Infant
My 11 month old son has had a diaper rash which turned into a yeast infection. I just noticed a hard lump on the inside of his leg in the diaper area and it has a yellowish head on it. It is causing him a lot of pain. Any suggestions on how to relieve this, I dnt feel I should mess with the bump.

hello welcome to HCM. THere is infection of the skin due to diaper.thus is called cellulitis. Please show it to paediatrics and get antibiotics and local application. See that the area is clean. Stop using diapers for some days and. Once the infection subsides, swelling reduces. Then few periods at home avoid diapers. when ever going out then only use them.Take care.
