My daughter has a rash that starts out like a pimple, but gets big before dries up. It is inflamed when wearing a diaper at night or certain brand of diaper at anytime. Help!!!!???? It is small individual bumps that raise up from skin and get bad. She says it hurts but itches it all the time. Seems to be made worse in bathtub and w/ diaper on. I don't think she knows how to say the difference between hurts/itches, but if not have Cortaid or Aveeno drying cream on she cries b/c it hurts so bad

I am potty training so she goes without a diaper for a long period of time but it still does not dry up completey.... I'm at wits end...I think I need to take her to the dr's office but I don't want it to be something stupid or all in vain. This has been going on since about Christmas. Not Localized only in the buttocks and groin area but some are also on the back of her thigh.

If it's been going on for that long you should bring her in, it could be a yeast infection or something else. A doctor's visit for a child with a painful/itchy rash for almost a month is not stupid or in vain.
