Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Based on the information provided it appears to me that it can be pressure sore, are injuries to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin.
I advice you to keep the area clean and dry, change the position every two hours and keep changing the sleeping position.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful

Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. There are some other causes of redness:
- bedsores due violation of the trophic tissue nutrition;
- Candida infection;
- contact dermatitis.
Eczema usually accompany with dry skin,itching. If he had allergy in Past or high level of Ig E in blood, then it can be. But you didn't have effect after treatment for eczema,so i suggest-
1.Apply emollients (child cream, olive, sunflower ,Vaseline, camphor oil) with light massage of this zones for improving bloodcirculation.
2.Change position in bed every 2 hours.
3.Apply Cloramphenicol ointment for quick cure 2 times during 7-10 days
4.Put rubber ring under buttocks for decreasing pressure of body to skin
Thanks for question.I hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
