What Causes Puss Filled Bumps On The Groin Area Of A Child?

Hello. I m concerned because my 7 yr old daughter has what looks like fluid filled pimples in her groin area. She only has about 8 of them. She mentioned them to me a few weeks ago and they didn t appear to have any fluid at the time but now they do. She s not really complaining a whole lot about them but I have no idea what it could be or what to treat them with. It s clearly not something normal. Any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of pus filled bumps on the groin area which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, sun allergy and could be fungal infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry and protect it from sun. Apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test , blood test , allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
