What Causes Rashes In A 13 Month Baby?
Hi. My 13mo old daughter is getting a rash at night. It is only on her stomach and sides and looks like little red bumps with white heads. It s very itchy, and she has scratch marks all over her sides but in the daytime it is completely gone. Doctors thought it was just an outdoor allergy but she hasn t even gone outside in over a week. I haven t changed any other detergents and only use the free and clear brands. Any ideas??

The fact it comes only at night it means it happens only when there is a skin exposed heat by clothes or blankets .
I think from your description it's a heat rash , in which its disturbing to the child because of the itch , it's caused by blockage of sweat glands .
Most of the time it resolves by its own and you need to cool the skin .
I hope this helps
