What Causes Red Rashes On Upper Body Of An Infant?
Hi Doc. My 3week old baby has rashes all over his face. And now it starting to get down his chest. He also has it on his head and the back of his neck and ears. The thing that worries me is that they are all tiny and few days ago, those red rashes had turned into white ones. Like there s a white substance inside the rashes. So now these white ones are all over his one side of forehead to head. And all the rest of the starting to grow rashes has white stuff on it. I havent seen a doctor yet but im planning to see one on Monday. The nurse who visited us at home said I can apply a moisturising cream called sorbolene cream. Do you know what is happening to my baby?
Hi...by what you say, I feel that your kid might be having an eczema or a mild sort of skin allergy which is very common in this age group. Moisturizing lotions will do and it gradually gets better as the kid grows up starting from 6 months of age.
But skin conditions are best treated after seeing them directly. I suggest you upload the image on this website and get back to us.
