Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of rashes with red spots on buttocks. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like fungal infection, contact dermatitis, frictional heat generation, allergic reaction due to detergent, soap , fragrance, animal bite, or an insect sting, bacterial infection of hair follicles and lyme disease. Need not to worry. For now take benadryl twice a day , apply cold compresses and avoid any cosmetic product. Wear loose clothes. I would suggest you to avoid touching or picking rash. Maintain complete hygiene. You should consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antihistamine , corticosteroid ointment and may give adrenaline short.
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
