Quick question about rash

EVA116

So my sister just sent me a picture and DS has a rash above his penis and on his stomach. He did not have it this morning. Could it be a diaper rash that spread? I take him today for his 6 month check but I am a little freaked out right now.

My kids are famous for getting mystery rashes, but they are almost always nothing serious.  The pedi always says if they are not in pain and don't have a fever it is likely just a contact rash from something that irritated their skin.  Certain viruses can also cause random rashes in kids.  Did he have any new foods today?  They will want to rule out a reaction to foods or medicines.

New food. Also his diaper was really full this morning. I also need to know if I can put cream directly on his penis. Sometimes it looks red but I don't want it to get infected.
