Could be ringworm or some other fungal infection. Apply chlotrimazole cream twice a day for 2 weeks. Ringworm can be spread through physical contact, so wash your hands thoroughly after treating the affected areas.



The rash will probably go away in a few days, but you need to apply the cream for the full 2 weeks to completely kill the fungus and prevent the ringworm from recurring. You can find the cream in the foot care section of your pharmacy.



Good luck!

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/k0VRk

You should call your doctor and ask her, especially if the baby has any other symptom. That's why they have services and pediatricians should expect to be called.

Sounds like ringworm. Its like a little fungus. You can check with your pedia. to see for sure.
