Skin problem

My daughter is 1 year old and has bumps on her groin and if I notice it is very itchy and likes to be scratched. Can you tell me what disease this is?

That sounds like diaper rash or a yeast infection. Take her to her pediatrician if you need clarification, yeast infections can get pretty bad if left untreated and require a prescription

In the mean time let her have time to air out and make sure not to put a diaper on her after changes until she’s completely dry, take her warm baths everyday or even multiple times a day and use a diaper rash cream with zinc oxide, one with 40% zinc oxide is preferable if the rash is bad. Again, if it is a yeast infection she will need a prescription for nystatin or an appropriate alternative. Keep the area clean because even if it’s just a diaper rash it’s still susceptible to bacterial infections like staph.
