    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Diaper dermatitis is a common condition in infants, with various potential causes.
    • Persistent or unusual presentations warrant careful diagnostic consideration.

    Observation:

    • A case of persistent ulcerative nodular diaper dermatitis in an infant is presented.
    • Initial laboratory tests for pathogens were negative.
    • Lesions resolved with conservative management, including bland therapy and avoidance of powders.

    Findings:

    • The condition was suspected to be granuloma gluteale infantum, although not definitively proven.
    • This diagnosis should be included in the differential for challenging diaper dermatitis cases.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering granuloma gluteale infantum in infants with refractory diaper dermatitis.
    • Suggests that similar reactions may occur in incontinent elderly patients.
