What causes cluster of bumps inside the buttocks of a child?
Patient: I have a 2 yr old that has a cluster of bumps on the inside of his butt cheeks. They were itching him last night so I put AD ointment on them. He has not scratched or complained about them today. They don t appear to filled with any fluid. Any ideas? Doctor: if this diper rash is of a small size , red and sometimes can give a small blood tinged diper it's usually a contact Dermatitis and A&d ointment will protect the skin and moisturize it and will do the trick .but if these rashes have white satellite like slits , it's usually a candidal skin infection due to increased humidity at this area and candizole  cream can treat them .if this rash is  red raised papules that are very tender to touch then it could be a staph infection and fuscidin cream will be appropriate  .I hope this helps
