Thanks for providing the clinical photograph.
The lesion present in the groin are pustular lesion in the groin. Its likely to be pustular Scabies especially if associated with itching and similar lesion in other family members(it may or may not be present in other members, but it will lead to recurrence if all family members are not treated).
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help.
1. Hot Seitz bath: Add a handful of water in warm water tub and make the baby sit in it for 10-15minutes. to be done twice a day
2. Single overnight application of Permethrin: Permethrin ointment is an anti-scabicidal agent. Treatment of all individuals involved in care of baby is equally important to prevent recurrence. Single overnight application of Permethrin Ointment all over the body excluding face and head is recommended. The next day morning give the baby hot water bath
3. Wash the clothes of baby in hot water
4. Local Application of Mupirocin ointment to the individual lesion will lead to healing of pustular lesion.
Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.
If you need any further assistance anytime, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing your daughter speedy recovery
