Suggest Treatment For Rashes On Lower Back And Inner Thigh
I have a two year old with a rash on his lower back and along his inner thigh. It is symmetrical and localized. It is small red blister-like spots and along the underwear/diaper-line. It looks like acne. I have three other children and nobody else has a rash. It doesn t seem to bother him at all. Just wondering what it could be...

Hi,
It is difficult to provide a definitive answer without a physical examination, but based on your description, your child may have a type of skin irritation or rashes such as diaper rash, eczema, or fungal infection. These types of rashes can cause small red blisters or bumps, especially in the areas covered by diapers or clothing.
To help soothe the rash and prevent further irritation, you can try:
- Changing your child's diaper frequently and keeping the area clean and dry.
- Avoiding tight-fitting clothing or clothing made from synthetic materials.
- Using a mild, fragrance-free soap and avoiding the use of harsh or scented products on the skin.
- Applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to the affected areas.
If the rash does not improve or worsens, consider speaking with your child's pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment recommendations. In the meantime, it is important to monitor the rash and watch for any signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, or pus. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
