Common Questions and Answers about Diaper rash looks like pimples

rash

I found a spot under the left side underneath the head of the penis,and it looked like a pimple, but it was bright white, so i rubbed it with a baby wipe and the white stuff kept coming out. It looked like ricotta cheese. after it all came out there was a small hole, and underneath the skin, you could see were the stuff was, it looked like an empty sack.

Looks like a diaper rash at first then small pimples form. It goes away a in a week's time. I just brought this up with her and she said she has just had a HPV test with her normal pap and will get back to me with results. But has no symptoms herself. Could HPV be causing this and why do I have a breakout only when I am with her?

My newborn is now seven weeks old and about a week ago i noticed blister like spots around his diaper area like a diaper rash. The spots started off filled with a white fluid almost looking like a pimple and then once it busted just left the skin broke and looked red and irritated.

So, my little guy has a (and im not sure to call it a rash or not) series of pimple like red raised bumps and some will have puss just like a pimple. The bumps are in the diaper area right above his penis. He has actually had this since he was an infant. I have been told it was a yeast infection and given anti-biotics but that did not solve the problem. He is a big boy (like 45 lbs!!!) and has a "fat pad" if anyone knows about this, please help me????

its red with pimples with some fluid in them. some looked like they did pop. i've had alot of experience with diaper rashes with my kids but i never seen this before.

Nothing. No bedbugs, no fleas. Just some spiders hanging out like they normally do. She's not in diapers at all, she's potty trained. But every few days she'll have a group of pimples. Her arm, her bum, inside of her thigh, her neck. Any idea at all what this is and how to treat it? It's driving me crazy knowing my baby has itchies that I can't fix.

My 2 year old daughter has had this pimple rash on her butt for months and i have taken her to her ped. and she tells me that it is a yeast infection. So she gave us some cream to put on it and it seemed to go away some but not completely. So i took her back to the ped. and she gave us the same thing and it did the same thing. My daughter is also potty trained so it is not like she is in diapers all day. She only wears pull ups at naptime and bedtime. The rash does not seem bothersome to her.

she's had it since starting brocolli i believe, but still has it and has moved on to carrots. thing is, it comes and goes. its not there constantly. it looks like little pimples, but i wouldn't think pimples would come and go. could it be an allergic reaction? what do they look like?

Ok well Im starting to think maybe it isnt herpes as the pimples come and go so quickly and dont look like sores just tiny dots. The creamy yellow heads are very small and are not ***** at all. Im confused to think its an bacterial infection though as I shower and exfoliate twice daily...but I dont know if this makes any difference. If it is an bacterial infection could you explain why I would be experiencing tingling and muscle pain??

It looks like tiny red bumps spread out over my entire armpit area and has a white or yellow head on some of them that look like a pimple. Sometimes it is sensitive or sore and sometimes it itches. When I had my baby she had the same looking thing on her diaper area and we went to the doctor. He said to put neosporain(sp) on it and it went away. I got it about a week later but only in my armpits and tried neosporain and it just got worse.

so aubree has been home for a couple of hours now and i just went to check on her and her forehand is covered in little red/brownish bumps and it looks like it is on her chest as well.. there are a whole bunch of them.. i checked her arms and legs and there are a few bumps that look like pimples but nothing like what is on her chest and forehead.. is this just heat rash? I am just terrified its something else like an allergic reaction to the meds..

it looks similar to a heat rash, but there are no pimple like areas. its SLIGHTLY raised, but you can BARELY feel it. its mostly just red and splotchy, and her tummy is the one with the small dots. but the sides of her look more like a ton of splotches put together.. ugh i cant explain it very well, and i tried to take a picture but it didn't turn out very good. should i be concerned? she doesnt seem to have a fever, and it doesnt bother her when i mess with it, so i dont think its itchy.

first it started as a mild itch on my vagina i shave so i thought maybe if i shave i wont sweat so much. WRONG . NOW it itchy and it looks red and sore almost like razor burn but its little bumps on the outside of lips and around surrounding area and now theres pimples on my bottom. :( when i walk it feels like my thighs are rubbing together and it burns and itches.

Elijah has had a rash on his back that looks like tiny red pimples for over a week. At his one year check up Thursday the doctor said it was a viral rash, but he has not seemed sick and has not had a fever. She said it would clear up within a week and it has only gotten worse since. Any ideas? I looked up rashes online and nothing I've seen so far seems to fit the description.

Since Friday the whole area has become red with a number of red spots, and what looks like a rash. I have been showering and putting baby powder and diaper rash cream on the area but it is not getting any better, in fact it looks worse. My question is does this sound like it could be herpes? I am in a Monogomous relationship so a new infection is not very likely, could this be recurrent herpes? Perhaps my original tests were inaccurate and skewed by my taking the valtrex?

thats a spot where some tend to perspire. almost like a heat rash (or diaper rash..hee hee). i wear pads during the night when i have my period and get what i call just that... a diaper rash. sounds similiar. if your dr. has looked and you've been tested, you should relax. they know what they are looking for and they know what std's looks like. have you used a new detergent? may be too "perfumey" for sensitive skin.

Hello, From the symptoms these red bumps can be due to irritated hair follicles, contact dermatitis and irritation caused by rubbing of the dry skin against the clothes, folliculitis or dermatitis. It does not look like HSV sores or any other STD to me. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics and do not pop the pimples.

red, red patches, welty, itchy, some parts of the rash look like little lines. We have seen FIVE doctors with whom have opposite diagnosis: 1.) contact dermititis 2.) eczema 3.) hives and eczema 4.) scabies 5.) allergies- (food allergies came back negative) 6.) and the "I am not sure what this is?" My husband and I are at a loss. We even treated her and us for scabies in case that it is, even though the dermatologist ruled that out.

to kind of explain what it looks like, it looks like a pimple with no head on it. Just red bumps. Any ideas on what we could try or what it might be? We are willing to try anything to help our little guy out!

I started getting little bumps everywhere, some were red and some ever looked like pimples with little white heads. It began to spread down my right thigh as well. I started using anti-itch cream and diaper rash cream so it wouldnt itch as much and get worse then some bumps began to turn purple. And now I just have a purple and red mess down there with white bumps, and its been about 2 1/2 weeks of having it and since Ive shaved. What could it be? How can I get rid of it?

hey i got a tattoo about 2 weeks ago and it is a red star on my forearm and now i hage a huge what looks like to be a rash all over my arms, it is so itchy , ive been using gold bond anti itch cream and it takes the itch away but it made it worse i am going to a docter today any advice please ***@****

It is circular, about 3 inches big, and goes around her anus. It kind of looks like raised bumps/pimples. When I wiped it, white flaky skin came off (I think). I noticed it two days ago, but tonight it looks way worse. Does anyone know what it could be? I thought of heat rash, but it only gets 50 degrees here during the day... Maybe dry skin or something? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, before I can take her to the doctor. She says it doesn't hurt or itch.

It's extremely itchy at times and I've used hydrocortisone to ease that a little and as well, used Zinc Oxyide (diaper rash forumula) thinking that moisture was the problem. On top of that, I think I may scratch it at night not thinking about it which causes it to bleed. I've actually found that the best relief is soap and water, keep it dry and NO lotions at all and I do my BEST to try to not scratch it, and it seems to 'dry up' and go away.

I got a mirror and looked and yesterday the bumps look like open sores and are to painful to touch. Today i noticed today i noticed that a couple of the bumps have now white heads to them almost like a pimple. The bumps are located below my vaginal opening in between my anus and there is one bump on the lip of my vagina and one at the very top near my clit. Please i dont have insurance and dont know what to do to ease the pain or make it go away all together.

He then had the same rash in his diaper area as well. Looked like bad exzema with white pimples heads. First time took him to ER, said not a food allergy, and gave his liquid steroid which helped to clear it up. This time, I gave him Benadryl and within 36 hrs it was gone. ANY help or suggestions . . . . please let me know. thank you!

my grandson had a little diaper rash on his bottom and then developed afe little pimple like blisters that then looked like sore after you take the scab off. I thought it was part of the rash but knkow they seem to be spredding. he has one on the back of his bottlom, by ribs and in abdomen.

i dont know what to do anymore! they are red dots...somtimes they look like pimples and she says they ich and other times it hurts. but most the time its just a bumpy pink rash with red spots? what is this?!

ive had docs say its just a rash 1 minite and the next its eczma/ dermatitis so what do i do anybody with any suggestions. to top it all off she has cradle cap aswell not bad but bad enough so she looks like a bit of a mess she is supposed to look cute and cuddly but instead i get this.

I am getting better at calming my fears but this morning she woke up with a red area on her left labia - it looks like a pimple. Most of the diaper rashes she gets are all over and bilateral and very noticeably a diaper rash. This area looks like a pimple or possibly a clogged pore but has not changed since this morning. I am very diligent about washing my hands.

The rash came back, also in his legs (like spreading) Everytime he has the rash (looks like pimples 5-6 at the time in the pelvic area and his penis very swallen and red) The rash came back for the 3rd time and the doctor said that was yeast, now he was prescribed nystatin, got better.
