What is this around my almost 4 week olds p***s?

Question

right around my sons p***s there are these white things....they are not pimples, they remind me of blisters that arent raised, there is nothing in them...it just looks like white circles of skin. this started a few days ago and now two or three of them have torn open just leaving a circle of white with normal like flesh colored skin on the inside, it doesnt seem to bother him. but im trying to figure out what they are. it also appears that some are actually on his p***s now.

anybody have experience with these things? he also has a bunch of pimples on his inner thigh where the diapers goes...i think its from using too much A&D ointment all the time

Answer 1

I would call your pedi and have them take a look at it.  Could be a yeast infection inwhich they can give you a medicated cream for.

Answer 2

Take him to your pediatrician to get him checked. This is not something that anyone on here can help you with. Good Luck and I hope he is OK.

Answer 3

I agree with the other 2 answers. Make an appointment with his doctor for a couple days from now. I suggest if you think it's from the ointment maybe stop using it for a couple days. Maybe try using powder after each change instead and see how it is when it comes time for his appointment. Good luck, and I hope he's ok.

Answer 4

His pediatrician will have a better idea of what it is, but I would think it relates to his baby pimples. You should still get a doctor's opinion just in case.  

Answer 5

When you have a question like this it would be best to consult your babys doctor! They know your baby best and will be able to tell what you should do!
