my newborn has something that looks like dry cracked skin right where the tailbone would be. Its above the folds in the buttock area but still in the area covered by the diaper. what treatment should I use I don t think its diaper rash its more cracked looking not red. I put aquaphor on it today when I noticed it.
Hi, Is the area erythematous? From your description, it may be caused by skin Chat Doctor.  Keep the area clean to avoid secondary infection. If it is not getting down by 3 days, or the area becomes red / swollen / tender / blistering, kindly get it examined by your doctor to rule out other important causes like skin infection. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
