A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck rashes: Neck rashes are common in infants. Until their necks elongate with growth, the chin folds trap moisture (formula, spit ups, sweat), which causes the skin to break down and be prone to rashes. Applying cornstarch to the area regularly to absorb moisture may help, but fungal infections are frequent in this area and might require prescription medication in the form of an antifungal powder or cream.
