I would like to know if there is anything that can be done for her pimples? Maybe see if it's possible to know the cause?

Question

My 3 month old baby has red pimples on his body - back, stomach and neck mostly. it's very red and patchy. We thought it was heat rash, but it's a lot and it's getting worse since this morning. Moreover, we take washing machine for sensitive skin and we often put cream for dry and sensitive skin without smell because his skin is in tendency excéma. His soap is also without smell. He had symptoms of cold in the last days, but no fever. Here is yesterday and this morning. No we haven't tried anything yet The redness of the pimples has decreased a lot, but they are still present with a relief

Hello ma'am, would it be possible to upload some well-lit images of the situation? Have you tried anything? Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification! The most important thing here is the general condition of the baby: No fever, manages to drink (even if less than usual) and wets and soils his diaper, only monitor. The basis of the treatment will be the hydration of the skin and other non-pharmacological measures: It is necessary to apply, as often as needed, a moisturizer without fragrance such as Aveeno, Cutibase, Base Glaxal, Cerave and others. Personally I recommend Aveeno because it is oat based and it can help a lot, keep in mind that there is no maximum of times a day, you can apply it as often as needed. Use a non-scented soap, and after the bath, avoid rubbing the skin vigorously: instead, lightly tap the skin to leave a thin layer of moisture, then apply the moisturizer quickly after getting out of the bath. In the absence of other symptoms, these measures are usually sufficient. I invite you to apply them and only monitor the situation. If the lesions persist for more than 7 days without improvement, I suggest consulting a doctor as a precaution. I hope I've been helpful, I remain available if you have any further questions!
