Any other symptoms? Have you done the glass test?

Looks similar to my little boys which at certain times looks red and agrivated like this.....Doctor told me it's eczema and prescribed cream.

When I originally called 111 they told me to do the glass test and if no fever its not anything too serious. But for peace of mind maybe call 111 they will go through any other potential symptoms. X

no other symptoms will call doctor tomorrow but might be a reaction to her cream I put on after bath this afternoon but she always has that cream every bath time and never happened could be because she’s a bit poorly she reacted x

My oldest had CMPA and he also had eczema which looked a lot like this. The 2 often come together unfortunately 😢

My children have cmpa and would get rashes like this regularly, but I would still suggest calling 111 just for advice.

Be careful when around your child as mine would really react if we ate or drank something (away from her) which had milk in, and then kissed her. She would come up in full body rashes like your photo x

what is the glass test ?

It could be the new thing your doing
Have you tried goats milk?

put a glass on the rash to check if it disappears under the pressure of it. It’s to check for meningitis.

Personally, call 111 and if you are worried, go to the hospital. I’ve done that lots with both when I’m unsure or what to get them checked out and most of the time, I’ve been right to xx

Try giving a oatmeal bath, to calm down the irritation

Is it in her nappy area? If it's not it could be laundry detergent as her clothes won't be in contact there.

Rashes around the 3 month mark are really common which is when my sons skin got bad.

We are in the UK and a pharmacy gave us a cream that made it worse.

Dr told us it was excema... prescribed baby piriton, hydromol and a steriod cream. Also recommended we stopped using any bubble bath, lotions, creams... bathe him the absolute minimum and switch to non bio laundry detergent and stop using laundry conditioner.

After doing the above his rash cleared quite quickly and we haven't had a flare up since . Xx
