Thanks Doctor for the follow up. He seems to get these when temperature is high No fever associated with this front of neck and back ,elbow hand fold area and forehead are the areas where these eruptions appear. these are healing right now but would like to understand what can be done to avoid this and in case they appear what should be the medication or the baby powder to be used. Thanks for your time

Brief Answer:
Fungal infection

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Considering the appearance and site of involvement, I can postulate that the lesions could be due to fungal infection.

Apply Antifungal gels like DK gel over the affected area. This will not only cure the lesions, also prevent the recurrences.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Regards
