Small Patch of Rash

My 2 year old son has a little patch of red, slightly bumpy rash on his skin, in the diaper area. I just thought it was a diaper rash, though it was just a little spot.

Well, we have been using a prescription cream on him called A-Mantle since he was about 6 months old that our Pediatric Allergist prescribed (who is associated with CHOP). This cream is a hydrocortisone mixed with some other type of cream. We use it on him practically every single day (since he still has ezcema). I specifically...
