Skin Rash In Baby Bum
Hi, My kid is 2.7 yrs old and got a small blister in his right bum which got peeled off later, exposing the skin and even peeling off more as he scratches it. And he got two more next to it. We tried applying coconut oil,turmeric, his rash creams and cetaphil moisturizer but it's getting worse as he scratches due to an itch. Is there any home remedy or does it need to be treated as I'm concerned to visit hospitals due to Sars-CoV-2 increase in my locality. Attached pic.

Hello, it looks like bacterial infection, please don’t self medicate with rash creams, as it may flare these. Also other sites need to be evaluated. For proper prescription, please connect via online consult.
