Brief Answer:
looks like pappilitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached pictures.
These look like pappilitis or prickly heat which is common in summer.
Few suggestions
1. Avoid powder.
2. Make him take bath atleast twice a day.
3. Use wet clothes to wipe his skin frequently.
4. Calamine lotion can be applied on the rash.
5. Plenty of liquids to drink.
As of now antiseptic ointments are not required.
If lesions persist or get bigger and painful do consult your doctor.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
