What Causes Red Bumps Like Rashes On Lower Back In Infants?
My 7 month old has a rash that starts on his lower back and goes up to the middle of his back. Started out as red bumps and got bigger. 2 spots look circular with red on the outside and it gets lighter on the inside. Is it ringworm? Lyme disease? Or heat rash? They all look similar

Hi,
Let me tell you that the symptoms described by you suggest that you have heat rash. You can better send me a photo of the rash on reports in order to better evaluate it. I suggest a cool bath can provide a child or baby with some relief from this rash. I also suggest avoiding using oil-based skin products and using loose-fitting Cotton clothes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arup Majumdar, General & Family Physician
