Possible infection: Based on your description, the rash sounds like an infection. However, can't be sure without examining the rash. Best to see your doctor for a definitive answer and treatment plan.

Not likely but c MD: It doesn't sound like it but this is not a definitive diagnosis and you should really see an md to make that judgement.
