What Causes Diarrhoea And Rashes On Chest In Infant?
My daughter is 10months old, she has had diarrhea for 15 days. About 4-8 times a day. We have not changed her diet and she drinks soy. The diarrhea has subsided in the past 2 days but she now has a small rash on her chest and sround her armpits. Her mood has perked up but for 3 days she would just lay on ke or the floor. We have been to the doctor 3 times and have no anwers. I am worried there is more to it then just a stomach bug

Hi...a 10 month old kid with prolonged diarrhea and rash on her chest and sround her armpits....I would like to consider the possibility of zinc deficiency (especially with a background of diarrhea). Other possibility is incidental eczema (skin allergy).
