and not his pooper. At a distance I told my dh it looks like a blister just put some ointment on it. He was wearing a sposie while I washed our cloth. He has never ever had a reaction to disposables before at least not this brand and this package that is almost gone.
I got closer and it was not a blister but a hole in his skin and it was pretty deep. I am def going to call the ped on Monday, but I need some ideas now.
I didn't put ointment on it because it is deep and it just isn't something you would put ointment on.
Any ideas.
UPDATE
I took this picture about an hour ago. He has since pooped and poo got all inside of it. I stuck in him the bath with some baking soda it was so gross. It is clean again I took this pic in to the local pharmasist down the road and she said if it gets worse to go to the ER, but for now put triple anti bacterial ointment on it.
It has gotten a little wider since yesterday but not any deeper, and a lot more puss. I am cutting some liners for his cloth diapers right now, so he can wear his cloth, and I washed all of his cloth with TTO to disinfect them.
UPDATE AGAIN:
This morning it as a little wider and all white inside, and I couldn't wipe it out this time it had hardened while he slept.
The ped isn't sure what it is. He gave us some cream to put on it and at 2:15 he is going to the hospital to have the sore swabbed and some blood work done. We should know by the end of the day for sure what it is.
Final Update I hope:
It is a minor staph infection probably caused by a cut from Nick's hands spending too much time inside of his diaper.
We have to basically sterilize our house and everything Nick's behind has touched. All of the second hand stuff that is listed in my HC will be re-washed in tea tree oil to disinfect it and put in ziplock bags out of Nick's reach in my room with all of my other stuff.
He has a perscription antibiotic ointment for the next few days if it doesn't clear up he will be getting oral meds on Thursday.

What kind of cream did he give you? If they decide to give an oral antibiotic be careful. When my son had MRSA (if that's what your little guy has) he was given an oral anibiotic that gave him diarrhea (TMI) and had to be taken off of it because it could have caused permanent digestive tract/diarrhea issues.

no squeezing I just have to wipe out the hole with peroxide every diaper change, and put the ointment on 3 times each day. I can't let it crust over anymore, so he will have to be woken up at night.
