What Causes Red Rash On Neck/chest Of A Baby?
My daughter is 16 weeks old. A red rash has appeared under her neck and chest where they meet, and in the creases of her arms and behind knees. Could this be heat rash or a milk rash. It has been lingering for 5 days. I have been giving her oatmeal baths twice a day and putting baby oil gel on her when she gets out and blotting her dry. This seems to be only a temporary solution.

Hello. I just read though your question.
What you describe is consistent with a heat rash. The oatmeal baths help. Moisturizing after the bath will help as well. it may take several more days, but the rash will resolve.
