A member asked:

Child, 5 years old, rash on right side where diaper covers but not groin, single bumps with redness blotches and also groups of bumps, look like tiny pimples, no fever but stuffy nose. new diapers 5 days ago, rash started 2 days ago. allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to diaper: Diaper reactions do appear within a day but usually effect the margins where the bands keep them tighter &/or the plastic touches the skin. It would also effect both sides rather than one area. Such rashes vary in origin from irritation to yeast to bacteria. An exam is often required to sort them out.
