Is a rash on my babys abdomen serious?

Best to check it out: While most of the skin lesions we see in babies require little more than reassurance, there are a few that can be infectious or even dangerous. It's best to let your medical provider take a glance at those spots.

Get it checked: Most rashes on a baby's abdomen are benign, and are caused by common skin conditions, such as eczema, or by common viruses. Signs that a rash may be more serious include if the rash looks like small purple spots or bruises, if the baby has a high fever with the rash, if your baby is lethargic or listless, or if the child has other symptoms, such as frequent vomiting, seizure, or a bulging fontanel.
