Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question. I agree with your pediatricians assessment. However, if the area of redness gets larger, or it becomes warm and painful, it could be an indication of a skin infection. In this case I recommend consulting with your doctor. Otherwise, this could take more time before it resolves and is nothing to be overly concerned about.
