It started on her upper torso but has moved to a of patches on her stomach, on her back and just recently in tbe bends of her elbows. What is it and how can i treat it?

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to heat rash. You can use a mild steroid cream for local application such as Hydrocortisone cream. I also suggest to keep the skin cool and dry.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
