Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
I am sorry to hear about your child's condition. However I must assure you that it doesn't sound like reaction to banana and if it were then it would have started well on day 1. The rash can be due to stools or even diaper rash most likely. You need to use ointment containing zinc oxide as a thick layer. Keep area as dry as possible. Give plenty of liquids for him. He should get better. Take care.
