Hello,

Our body is a strange thing. It could react to anything according to its mood. It seems like an allergic reaction but doesn't worry if the baby is not feverish. Feeding okay and the rash is settled.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
