I have posted this before, but really am not sure what this is.

My son has a rash that comes and goes around his belly button.

It flares up, maybe weekly.

It itches.

It's raised red bumps that recede into the skin when healing. The shape is somewhat rounded.

This has been a problem since I gave him the GSE mixed with Enula.

His rear end also gets a rash, but those bumps are bigger, like itchy red pimples. They come and go. He has always had that on his rear.

He does wear a pull up at night which might contribute to his buttox, but not his belly button because it does not go up as high as that.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I thought maybe Tutu, but I want to see what everyone thinks.

I have googled this, and have not come up with anything useful.

So, I'm putting it out there to gather as many experiences, or thoughts as I can.

2roads, all I can tell you is that I got those rashes for three years.

Tested,tested and tested...I really think it's from the lyme bugs....still get it, now & then.

Hope your son feels better!

Thanks Steve,

Not sure what to make of this-

I had this and it was diagnosed as a yeast infection. Nystatin cream is what I put on it to clear it up but it took a really long time for it to heal.

That's the thing hopefull, it goes away on its own within a few days, only to pop back out a week or two later.
