Infant With Reddish Bumps On The Face, Legs And Arms. Tried Candid Powder. Heat Rash?

My baby developed red bumps on her face 3 weeks ago. We stopped Johnson products and tried with Himalaya and applied baby cream and powder. Eventually it also did not help us. After consultation with doc we stopped applying any oil/gel/powder for 3-4 days but it also not helping. After that we applied Candid powder for 3-4 days which is also not soothing my baby.. Since last 4 days she has developed this red bumps on her back, neck, legs and arms as well.

We are livining in Pune and for the last 2-3 weeks day temperature is high and doc said it is heat rash. But it has been 2.5 weeks and i dont see red marks fading... This is adding to stress to me as I am not getting proper advice and treatment for my sweet baby.. Please help me in this regard.

Hi welcome to Health c care magic forum.
Thanks for calling H.C.M.Forum.
Your baby developed red bumps,on her face, 3 weeks ago, have changed johnsons to himalaya products, stopped all for 3 days, then again started candid powder, now they have developed on her back, neck, legs and arms.
It appears to be the allergic rash, and to be treated with some antibiotic, and steroid local application, like caladryl lotion.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
