Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of rashes on abdomen, groin and buttocks which seems to be due to contact dermatitis . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like swollen lymph nodes, allergic reaction , psoriasis , skin infection , sun allergy or fungal infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your skin clean and dry and protect it from sun. Apply only petroleum jelly and take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. Doctor may order certain test like skin patch test , blood test , allergy test and take history to rule out the side effects of certain drug .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
