its not ringworm because its VERY VERY VERY white, with no scaly things or anything, it looks like diaper cream but its not.

Could be exzema, which in that case just moisturize, or it could be a yeast infection (very common in the diaper area from too much moisture), which in that case you'll have to get a presciption cream. Good luck.

If it is only one spot, then I agree with the possibility of ringworm or even a spider bite. If there are more, it could be an alergic reaction to the diaper. My grandson had something similar to what you are describing and we ended up changed the brand and it disappeared. Is there any liquid coming out? Crusting?

Is it a raised rash-like area? If so, it could be ringworm which is a fungus. If this is the case, you need to apply anti-fungal cream. It's best that you check with the new doctor before you do anything.

Sounds like ringworm. Just put some antifungal cream on it for about a week and it will go away.

It sounds like it could be a ringworm. My nephew had something like you are describing and that's what it was. They prescribed him some kind of cream and it went away! Good luck!

Sounds like it has all the characteristics of ring worm. Go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist what they recommend for that. I think there's some sort of cream or something you can buy for it.
