    Hi!
    One of our boys has a 'pimple' like bump on his bottom, it's a little red...looks just like a pimple. Any ideas what it could be? He's 3.5mths.
    THanks!

    Sometimes my DD used to get those. I would just use some diaper cream and then it would just dry up and go away. I would just keep an eye on it. If it gets bigger or starts to look really "angry" then I might just have the Ped take a look at it.

    I would put some alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe it at diaper changes, maybe try Neosporin, and see if it dries up and goes away on it's own. My 4 year old just had one, and it got really swollen and he ended up on antibiotics for a staph infection, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

    I agree with PP, I put ointment on it and it goes away.

    On another note: At the girls' 6 month check up the Pedi told me that little red dots down there were something else. She recomended getting athletes foot cream [which I though was weird] but it's been working.

    ditto on the possible staph infection. my neighbor's little boy had that happen a few times when he was a baby. same symptom, looks kinda like a pimple..

    i would keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve in a day or two, have the pedi look at it.

    I would also suggest putting diaper rash cream on it, while keeping a watchful eye. If it gets worse, call the pedi. I hope it clears up quickly :hug:.

    I would also recommend putting diaper cream on it and keeping on eye on it. Good luck!
