What Causes Red Pimple Like Bumps With Whiteheads On Thighs?

My nine year-old daughter has pimple-like bumps on her upper inner thighs and bottom. They begin as colorless small bumps and progress to a red pimple with a whitehead that pops. I thought perhaps it was due to not wiping well enough after she goes to the bathroom but it is not getting better. I am going to call her pediatrician tomorrow am. Originally the doctor said it was irritation from underwear. Any ideas in the meantime?

hi, thanks for the question. from your history it looks your child has folliculitis, a form of bacterial skin infection which can be treated by application of local antibiotics like mupirocin.
