My son has some red scaly spots below his underwear line and on top of buttocks?

He just showed me these red spots that look like they are constantly peeling and they aren't going away. He has had this for a month now and it's on the top of his buttocks and right where his underwear line is and below.. they are scattered spots. Some are small and one is the size of a nickel. Could this be eczema? Would some simple cream help? I'm making him an appointment with the doctor. He said they DO NOT ITCH at all. They don't even bother him. But he said when he is in the shower they turn red.

Update:

They don't look very red w hen dry-- they look like they were peeling. Like dry skin spots. Like a rash too but spread out.

    Could be contact dermatitis. He could be allergic to the fabric or something used in the making of the undies or even your laundry soap.
