DS (age 7) has had spots at the top of his buttocks (just above the crack!) He sometimes also complains of itching under his scrotum too, although there are no obvious spots etc there.
He's always scratch, scratch, scratching....
They're eally annoying him, and he keeps scratching them which of course makes them worse/flare up.
I don't think they are
- heat rash
- ezcema
- psoriasis
as I've cheked out pics of all these, and it's not the same
We haven't changed washing powder, so don't think it's an allergic reaction? He had them over summer, so not polyester uniform problem I don't think...
So far we've tried:
- Benadryl cream(no good)
- Anti-histamine - no good
- Calamine lotion - calms them down, but they come back as soon as we stop using it
What can they be? Do I need to go to the GP, or could the pharmacy help (DS doesn't want to have to publicly drop his trousers though.. )
Any ideas?
