What Causes Red Spots On Waist In Kids?
hi i have a 19 month old son and over the past 2 days he has started to form a red spot type rash from his waist downwards, he has in total 14 spots now and he has started to itch them, what could this be because apparently chicken pox start on the back but he only has spots from the waist downwards. Thank you very much for having the time to answer my query Nicola.

Hi, thanks for the question.from your history it looks like your child has folliculitis, a form of bacterial infection of skin which can be treated by application of local antibiotic cream like mupirocin. it is very unlikely to be chicken pox.
