My LO got a rash like that all over her body about 2 days after a fever. Doc said it was just the virus leaving her body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash-4#post-2561629 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 19:41:05 +0000 peaches1038 2561629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh could be! My nanny did take him outside today for quite a while. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash-4#post-2561618 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 19:08:57 +0000 JerricaBenton 2561618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reaction to sunscreen? Is it itchy? Lo gets a rash like this on her chest and upper arms when it's very hot and she's wearing sunscreen. I've tried different sunscreens and it still happens from time to time so I haven't been able to work out whether it's just from heat or sunscreen or a combo of the two. I usually wipe her down with a cool wash cloth as soon as I notice it, then make sure she gets a bath that night and make sure all the areas are thoroughly cleaned. Sometimes I put on baby eczema lotion but that's more because she's complaining of it being itchy. Takes a few days before it goes away completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash-4#post-2561607 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:32:49 +0000 peaches1038 2561607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=1712/16/o87yqq.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash-4#post-2561606 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:31:08 +0000 peaches1038 2561606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=1712/16/o87ynw.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-this-rash-4#post-2561605 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 18:28:50 +0000 peaches1038 2561605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Allergic reaction? Eczema? Heat rash? It's not very red and it's on his back and chest. DS is almost 7 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278507 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 21:06:28 +0000 catomd00 2278507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't look like yeast from the picture. Just rash from being wet. Keep it dry and slap some diaper rash cream on it and it should clear right up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278474 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:41:43 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2278474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 has this SO BAD. She gets it in her armpits too. It's really hot here so I can never seem to keep it quite dry enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278395 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:45:21 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2278395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oscarthegoon: and @turquoisemama: DD had a yeasty rash in her diaper area when I was on antibiotics for mastitis. So I've already got cream for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278392 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:43:40 +0000 turquoisemama 2278392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: My DD has the same thing. The doctor said it was yeast from being moist and closed up all the time. She told us to put Clotrimazole cream which you can find in a small tube in the athletes foot section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278377 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:31:29 +0000 oscarthegoon 2278377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son had that at four months. it was a yeast infection from being constantly wet, in his case from trapped drool. i think the doctor prescribed nystatin, and recommended more tummy time and keeping it clean and dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278342 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 18:50:17 +0000 Mamasig 2278342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used aquaphor regularly and diaper rash cream (just a little) when it was that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278341 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 18:47:14 +0000 mrsrain 2278341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this with LO1. Wash it regularly and use a little baby powder to keep it dry. If you notice a smell you may need to put some diaper cream on it to help it heal. It should resolve quickly, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278339 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 18:44:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2278339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: she's not really a big drooler but everyone seems to concur that it is some kind of moisture. Maybe she's just sweaty! I'll work on trying to keep it dried out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278288 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 17:45:58 +0000 MrsSRS 2278288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Triple paste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278285 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 17:41:46 +0000 Mrs Panda 2278285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she drool a lot? My LO had that a lot from her drool getting trapped in her neck folds and not getting aired out. :) if it's not bothering her, I agree with the suggestion to try keeping it dry for a little bit and seeing if it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278265 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 17:10:14 +0000 LAZB 2278265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L has that ALL THE TIME. It's just from moisture, keeping it dry helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278262 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 17:09:03 +0000 iluvboba637 2278262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eczema? My LO had that behind his knees when he was a baby. Cetaphil mixed with hydrocortisone did the trick. Also keeping it dry like pp said - so I would straighten his legs and elevate it on a pillow when he napped so the back of his knees got some air and wasn't bent and sweaty. That's kind of tough on the neck though. My niece had this on her neck and my cousin said when she started rolling and doing more tummy time it got a bit better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278244 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 16:46:21 +0000 yellowbird 2278244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet it's from being moist! Try diaper cream and keeping it dry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-neck-rash#post-2278233 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 16:33:19 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2278233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just noticed that DD (3 months old) has a really bad looking rash on the "inside" of her neck roll (she's a chunky baby :happy: ). It doesn't seem to hurt her when I touch it but it looks really angry. </p> <p>Anyone else have a LO get something like this? It looks like a ligature mark! Any recommendations on what might help it get better? </p> [attach=1437/15/ntyujk.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2261171 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 17:15:34 +0000 MrsB2012 2261171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the only pic I can find on my phone with her eyes closed :) </p> [attach=3776/15/nsxv5y.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2261169 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 17:08:06 +0000 MrsB2012 2261169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Ifyoulikepinacoladas it looks like the stork marks to me. My youngest has it on both her eye lids, and my older daughter has it on her forehead and nose. I can try and take a pic of my one daughters eye and show you, but she's awake right now and it's only visible if her eyes are closed. It pretty much looks the exact same as that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2260808 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 11:59:39 +0000 rosegold 2260808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>photo for reference...</p> <p>no more yeast neck rash, we don't have thrush and his eyelids are not crusty and red and bumpy and gross. i know it bothers mama cause it's aesthetically displeasing but i was also convinced that when it would get that angry red or he woukd start fussing, the discomfort of any kind of rash was part of the cause. </p> [attach=6248/15/nsxgjf.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2260806 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 11:57:54 +0000 rosegold 2260806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: no his dr said to me it definitely wasnt. i have considered milk/drool rash (which i think he gets on his chin nowadays) or a slight dairy intolerance. have cut back on dairy and surprise, the eyelid and under eye rash is no more. it was definitely raised and bumpy. never thought i would go without ice cream and yogurt, damn. now he just gets what looks like little pimples on his chin from drooling so dang much and rubbing his face constantly on my boob. just an update for anyone who may come across this desperate for answers (aka me the past few weeks!!) have been wiping his face or patting it with a warm or cold washcloth (got a 20pk on amazon wooo) to keep it from getting nasty and by bedtime it's usually gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2260728 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 10:45:12 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2260728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you think it could be baby acne? DD2 had it SO BAD when she was about that age - all over her face and eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2260647 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 09:37:02 +0000 mrsrain 2260647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter got eczema under/around her eyes. Sometimes they would look really red/swollen, sometimes not too bad. We had to use hydrocortisone (so tricky in the eye area!), mostly at night. It did eventually clear up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2260490 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 03:57:06 +0000 Ifyoulikepinacoladas 2260490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rosegold: it kind of looks like stork marks? My LO has them on her eyelids and they're similar looking. No cure but time for those as they're a type of birthmark which are particularly visible after a bout of crying/rubbing eyes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2258206 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:11:07 +0000 rosegold 2258206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: ugh! i feel like he is trying to rub at his face but how am i supposed to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-cradle-cap-or#post-2258200 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:07:18 +0000 rosegold 2258200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dr appt on monday, i've stopped using the cream as it's pretty strong but isn't totally getting rid of this. the rash will subside and then return and I can't keep using this cream. its above and under mainly one eye. patchy around his cheeks and chin and neck. any tips would be helpful. i'm so confused.</p> <p>[attach=6248/15/nsqdc7.600x450.image.jpg] </p>
