What Causes Cluster Of Bumps Inside The Buttocks Of A Child?

I have a 2 yr old that has a cluster of bumps on the inside of his butt cheeks. They were itching him last night so I put AD ointment on them. He has not scratched or complained about them today. They don t appear to filled with any fluid. Any ideas?

Pediatrician 's  Response
if this diper rash is of a small size , red and sometimes can give a small blood tinged diper it's usually a contact Dermatitis and A&d ointment will protect the skin and moisturize it and will do the trick .
but if these rashes have white satellite like slits , it's usually a candidal skin infection due to increased humidity at this area and candizole cream can treat them .
if this rash is red raised papules that are very tender to touch then it could be a staph infection and fuscidin cream will be appropriate .
I hope this helps
