hi my 3 year old has a cluster of 3-4 large red pimples on her bottom. They have whiteheads on them and are large underneath the skin, almost like boils. She has had them for several days. She is in a little bit of pain to the touch but otherwise, everything else is normal. I have been alternating with a cortisone cream and a cream I used once before for yeast when she wore diapers. Doesnt seem to help. Thanks
Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be pyoderma or skin and soft tissue infection. It might spread if steroids are used.  The white heads you are seeing could be pustules. It may require antibiotic therapy. But, Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.  Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time.
