What Causes Spinal Circular Spots With Redness And Tenderness?

My son has 3 circular red spots along his spine, roughtly the size of a dime. They re flat with one having a dark center even. During his bath they seem tender and he scratches at them. They re on his lower back where his diaper and pants sit, but he s never had spots like this before and I haven t changed detergent or anything. he doesn t sleep with hard toys and as far as I know hasn t fallen. Should I take him in to his doctor?

Hello,

Skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them directly. May I request you to upload some images of the same so that I can see and guide you better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
