Brief Answer: Relax Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to us. I understand your concern. It appears to be exanthematous rash which is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days. I suggest you to apply calamine lotion 2 to 3 times a day. Watch for following things: -increase in rashes. -lethargy and refusal of feed -fever associated with it. In case you observe any get him examined by doctor as physical examination will be required. In the meantime give plenty of fluids and his routine diet. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can help further. Wishing your baby good health. God bless.
