Red Bumps On Bottom With White Heads, Taking Neosporin And Cortizone And Triamcinolone Cream. Yeast Or Staph?
My daughter will be two next week. About two months ago she started to get small red bumps on her bottom that progressed to big hard red bumps with whiteheads. We have been to the doc twice for this and was told to use Neosporin and Cortizone. And some Triamcinolone Cream that was prescribed for another condition once a day. It seems to get better but then here they come again. She hasnt changed soaps or diapers or lotions. Could this be some kind of yeast or staph?
