A member asked:
Breastfeeding and baby and i both have a red, flaky, scaly rash. baby around mouth-me around mouth, eye, forehead, forearm, and nipple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MD visit: The rash may be due to a number of conditions, including infections, contact dermatitis or allergic dermatitis. Since you both have a rash, this raises the possibility of an infection that has been transferred to the baby. If you are applying topical lotions or perfumed products this may lead to a contact dermatitis. Your physician will be able to determine the treatment for the underlying cause.
