What Causes Rashes On Head And Neck In Babies?

Hi, I have a 1 month old daughter and she started a week ago to have some pimples, but since Friday her entire face became strange: a rash with red zones, that extended to the head and neck area with small irritated pores. Is it an allergy? She is also more nervous and has gas a lot... and it hurts her. Thank you so much!

Hi, This could be a case of Gram positive bacterial skin infection. It is better to visit a pediatrician doctor to get your baby examined.
Gram positive skin infections can rapidly progress. Temporarily, You could use - 2% Mupirocin (antibacterial) ointment (TBact) locally over affected skin areas three times daily till you visit pediatrician.
