Hi, my son has eczema, but hasnt had a flare up for months now. We have recently moved to Panama and now he has a rash that started around his neck and is spreading down his back and front. It looks like little red bumps. Is doesnt seem to trouble him too much. Since his eczema flare-ups we have been using Diprobase ointment to cover him at every nappy change to keep his eczema at bay - which has been successfull until now. I am just wondering if this is heat rash or eczema. If its heat rash, how do we treat it?Many thanks,Gmlmje
Hello, It could be great if you can send a photo of the rash to me, so I can analyze myself.  It could be heat rash, that might precipitate eczema flare-up. However, the photo will tell&help more.  If Airbase ointment is working, then, continue using this. Try to keep the room temperature optimal to make them disappear. And do not expose to high temperature.  Bathing with cold water and non-soapy shower gel can help. Avoid toweling, instead, let air- Chat Doctor.  If the rash will disappear, then, it's from heat rash.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
