Hard to say: These often require an exam to sort out. If the texture of the rash is bumpy & color angry red it is often yeast & requires anti fungal creams. If blistery it is often bacteria . If smooth with mild redness it may just be healed but skin thinned by too many steroid creams. Consider having the kid seen.
