Question 1

slight red rash behind babies ears?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin: Usually dry skin.To treat dry thoroughly and moisturize 3-4 times per day. If this does not work, talk to your pediatrician regarding medication.

Question 2

what causes rash around the ear lobes babies?

Accepted Answer

Possible eczema: Eczema usually starts behind the crease of the earlobe and then to the earlobe. Other rashes are possible. It's hard to diagnose rash without seeing patient.

Question 3

my baby has a pimply rash on his face which has moved to his scalp and a little on the ears and neck. what should i do? i've been told it could be infant acne and i should wash him only in epizone and apply it on his face and not to bath him daily.

Accepted Answer

Probably: A baby floating in the slick moist environment of the womb will have pristine skin at birth.Between 2 wks and 2 months, more than half of infants will have transient baby acne triggered by the hormones that came across during pregnancy.I would keep it clean &amp; allow it to run its course. If any sites are more inflamed or persistent, your doc should evaluate. It should fade completely by 3 mo.

Question 4

infant had fever about 2 days up to 102.7 finally broke on day 2 but now has rash on head chest back and cries almost constantly?

Accepted Answer

Common patters: A lot of infant viral infections will have fever for a few days and end in a generalized rash. Some have names based on location and type of rash, but they are expected and rather benign.I'd consider the crying evidence it is not finished.As long as the kid takes fluids well and plays occasionally you can monitor at home.If not drinking the kid should be seen.

Question 5

hello. my 5months old baby has red rash behind both ears,it's not itchy. she also has miner rashes around the neck and legs but not red.

Accepted Answer

This sounds like: eczema or seborrhea, both of which are quite common at this age. Depending on where you live, this could be affected by dry weather and sometimes a food/milk allergy. You can try over-the-counter Aquaphor. If that doesn't help, please discuss with her pediatrician.

Question 6

my baby of 7 months has spots or like rash type over body he does not have anything behind the ears no fever but keeps spreading started on sholders?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Unable to determine the cause of the rash by  this description.  Need to follow up in person with baby's doctor.

Question 7

8 month old baby has a rash on her face behind her ears and all over her stomach.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Rashes can be associated with illness or reaction to foods/exposures. You didn't describe the rash in detail or presence of any of fever without which little can be said. You are welcome to start over &amp; provide more detail but many rashes just need to be seen to label.If she spooks you have her seen.

Question 8

4 mo. baby has rash behind ear. raw, red and oozing sticky clear liquid.  rash on face too.  what should i use on it?  eczema? has cradle cap too.

Accepted Answer

Like this? : Seborrheic dermatitis ("cradle cap") can spread to the face, eyelashes ; behind ears. It can be treated by using z-tar or other anti-dandruff shampoo. Lather up a fingertip's worth, shampoo ; rinse thoroughly. If the scalp is red for more than a few moments, discontinue use. If it looks infected or is very itchy, see her pediatrician for other treatments (miconazole or mild hc creams).

Question 9

hi
my month old baby is having a rash all over her face, worse near her eyes behind & around her ears n neck, it's also giving off  yellow liquid.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Given the young age of your baby and liquid coming from rash, best to have baby checked out by doctor asap.

Question 10

i just been discharged from waikato opr ward last friday. i came out with rashes behind the ears and inside. plus on my groin now. they have been so n?

Accepted Answer

Dermatitis??: Might be possible especially if bed bound.  Could also be some sort of yeast infection or other skin condition.  Or even a drug reaction.  A doctor examination at your GPs or a video consultation on this service where the skin could be viewed would be useful to sort this out
