Sensitive Diaper Area Skin

Hi! I have dealt with diaper rashes with all my kids, but now this is one I haven't had before.

Need a Good Pediatric Dermatologist

I am needing a good pediatric dermatologist for my 3 yr old son. I have had no luck with my regular pediatrician. Let me fill you in. Since May my son has had some irritation in his diaper/pull-up area. We have been airing it out...using big boy pants...using A&D ointment, cornstarch, you name it. It got worse and worse. Finally lots of things looking like bite marks (contact dermatitis I'm guessing) popped up all around the immediate area. I took him in to his Doc and he quickly said, "looks like bug bites" gave me a steriod cream...
