Hello. Thank you for your question. I am sorry about your son's rash. Sight unseen it is difficult to diagnose. It is helpful to know that he is not bothered by it. This information indicates that it is unlikely to be serious. However, your description that it appears like cigarette burns, combined with its location, suggest that a consultation with your doctor is warranted.
