Diagnose a rash?

[timorousbeastie]

A few weeks ago, DD had a small, circular rash on her lower back. It went away within a couple days, and I didn't think anything of it. She had something similar several months ago, in a similar location along her spine, but again it went away quickly. This morning, she now has two circular rashes, in a row straight up from where the most recent rash had been. The larger one is roughly the size of a dime, maybe a bit smaller. They weren't there last night, and the texture and appearance is kind of scab-like. DD says they aren't itchy or painful. From pictures I've seen online, it doesn't look like ringworm, but that's the only circular rash I can find when I google. 

Has anyone ever seen something like this? Would you bother going to the pedi? I could call the dr, but their standard response to a call is pretty much always "well, you could bring her in if you want; we can't tell you if she needs to be looked at without seeing her in person." Not very helpful when trying to figure out if it's worth a trip to the dr.

Is it dry or itchy? Could it be nummular eczema? You can google pics.

DD had something similar - pedi suggested eczema and recommended putting hydrocortisone on it.

I agree it looks like eczema, but the consistent location makes me wonder if something external is causing it. Maybe check her PJs or clothes she's worn recently for a tag or rough seam that could be rubbing there? I have found some awful tags in unexpected locations inside kids' clothes.

Rubbing from the car seat?

It doesn't look particularly rash like to me, more like a scrape. When M gets marks like that he's scraped his back on something, usually crawling under playground equipment or a desk.

Since it’s on her boney spine, I assumed some sort of scrape/irritation due to rubbing on something.

Looks like rug burn! Was she wrestling around on the floor, or getting pulled along the floor by another kid or something?
