Suggest Cure For A Skin Rash

I have a 15 month old that has had red bumps under his left armpit for a while now. He acts like it itches and bothers him. Is it heat rash or something to be worried about? I have asked his doctor but he didn t really give me an answer. Thank you very much.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

At this age causes of red bumps at underarms is due to retention of sweat, or some kind of allergy.

I suggest you avoid tight clothes and bath him twice a day. You can apply lacto calamine lotion on the bumps to sooth them. You can also apply aloe vera gel for cooling effect. If the symptoms don't go then consult a skin specialist. Consult your doctor once before taking medicine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
