Question: Hi,
My Baby is 5 months old, from last couple of days she is getting lot of red color rashes around her body(neck,shoulders,chest ect) . I understand kids get rashes on the folded body parts but is it normal to get the rashes on the unfolded body part like chest,shoulder etc. Please suggest me.

Regards,

Brief Answer:
Upload images

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr. XXXXX,

I understand your concerns but don't worry. There are several reasons for such rashes in infants. The most likely being atopic dermatitis. I would recommend you to upload the images of skin rashes so that I can suggest you the best possible line of management. Also, mention about the feeding (breastfeeding or formula feeds) and family history of allergic tendency.
