My son had something a bit like this … there is a proper name for it - I saw the health visitor and GP in the end and GP advised to just keep it clean by cleaning it with cotton wool bathed in lukewarm salt water solution (cooked boiled water), it healed and just came off by itself within a couple of weeks. But I would get advice from health visitor to be sure!

*cooled
DS had “granuloma” if that helps!

As above, keep clean and sprinkle some salt on it at every nappy change, it will come off.
