My daughter had a similar issue on her back when she was about 8 months old. My PD wasn’t sure of what the issue was either. I took her to Dr Lynn Chiam’s skin clinic at Mt E. I think the issue was linked to sweating in her case. We got a steroid based ointment that cleared it up within a month or 2. I’d recommend taking her to a skin specialist.

Sorry, it was a year back. So don’t remember exactly. But I think it was around $100. Can give them a call and enquire about consultation fee if you’d like. They’re very approachable and kind.
