hi, my name is lorettaI have a 2month old son who has rashes all over his body. has been on since he was 3weeks old. ive used cortisone, but it didnt really help much so I discontinued its use. I changed his lotion from Johnson to aveeno about a week ago to be sure that it wasnt as a result of that, but still no positive result. I also put on light clothing on him, but nothing seems to work, I am really helpless @ the moment. thanks
Hi, LorettaThank you for the query. You may be heard about the word infantile acne. It usually develops at the age of 2 weeks, and it continues to be there at least for a whole of 6 weeks, and it resolves by it own and the cause in unknown. As you have mentioned that the rash is all lover the body, so you might consider the viral infections too. I advise to consult your doctor first to make sure about the problem and to know whether any Chat Doctor. Try to avoid using creams which will Lodge the pores. Try to apply baby powder and make the baby always hygienic. The important thing you need to know is if you are breastfeeding then please concentrate on the diet you are taking as some diet like citrus fruits will cause some rashes in newborn. Thank you.
