What could this be ?

Should I be worried ? Since yesterday my 4 months old baby girl has it but only on her chest and extended to tummy . Because we can’t go to gp and I don’t see it as an emergency, is it from sweat or might be allergy? She’s on formula , washing the clothes with the same thing since she’s born .

It could be eczema, or it could be a viral infection. My LB had a rash similar to this on his torso and back, he was very clingy/mardy and sleepy for a few days before the rash developed

Looks like heat rash
My baby had that too. U Nedd to strip them off a layer and keep them in a cool room or strip them completely with only a nappy for a few mins and it will go itself

It’s there from yesterday, she’s sleeping only in a sleepsuit without nothing underneath 22 degrees in the room but humidity is high

yeah he was the same, it was a tough week! The dr just said to give him calpol but his temp hit 41 so I took him to A+E and the nurse there said nurofen works better for temperatures so we alternated until he was better. He also has eczema so had he not have been actually off it, I would have put it down to that 🙈

My daughter had this at about the same age. I thought it might be her formula so changed it to a goat milk formula and it went away. Definitely book in the see a doctor or child health nurse

My exs baby had irritated skin like that when he was with his mom . Every time I got him I’ll shower him and put organic coconut oil on his skin and he would heal . 🥰

Heat rash or maybe the soap she's bathing in.

Looks like a viral rash to me.
My daughter gets them usually she also has a runny nose or a less normal 💩 nappy at the same time too.

Assuming you have done the meningitis glass test?
