A member asked:

Hi , my infant son has a redness along his genital area and started with red dots on his body.he is 5 and a half months?

Hard to say: If localized only to the back we think of factors that would put it there,like the yeast in a poopy diaper. Much of rash assessment is visual, so since I can't see it and we can't view it on the public site I must leave it a puzzle.
