hello my 2 year old son has spots all round his bum area and come down the inside of the top if his thighs. its dont look like nappy rash, because hes had that and its never looked like this. the spots are raised and bumpy, a bit like chicken pox but without the heads. what do you think it is?
Hi, Is he having any other symptoms like fever? Are the lesions itchy? If no fever, raised lesions which are not fluid filled can suggest an urticaria (will be itchy), a contact dermatitis or a purpura. Urticaria will respond to antihistamines, calamine lotion and occasionally steroids. Purpura need further evaluation to rule out conditions like HSP (Henoch-Schonlein purpura). Kindly show it to your pediatrician. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
