Ok.. my son has had a rash basically since he was born, I keep getting told it's baby acne or eczema but I don't think that's what it is... I'll put pictures in the comments but if anyone has seen something like this or had any idea what it could be, that would be great..
he is formula fed with Similac sensitive , it's milk based. and we use Aveeno already and have been using the hydrocortisone cream.. and it isn't raised, just really red and he picks at it
my son used to look like that, not as red but he now has eczema. it started to get better when I switched his soap to non scented organic. i would put hydrocortisone 1% on him periodically & i use aveeno eczema lotion on him. he cleared up & it's almost completely gone now.
It doesn't look raised like acne and eczema but im not a dr so could be wrong. Do you BF or formula ?
well he is 6 weeks and 2 days. I use dreft detergent. they just keep telling me it's baby acne or eczema which I don't think it is at all. To me it looks more like hives but I'm really unsure. @sonya15
Maybe try organic/non scented detergent? What does the dr say? I feel like a rash shouldn't last longer than a typical cold (5 days)
yes my son did the same i wish i had a picture to show you. but my son is bf. maybe he is allergic to the formula. I've seen that before. not sure how it works or what's in it. i don't know anything about formula. have you tried changing it?
