A member asked:

My son has small bumps on his back, chest, and inner thighs. what could it be (it is not chicken pox)?

Not sure: Of course can't give you a definitive diagnosis but there is a condition called molluscum contagiosum that is quite common in children in those locations. I would recommend checking some pics on www.Aad.Org and see if it looks similar.
