What Is The Red And Warm Skin Rash On The Baby's Face?
My son is 15 weeks old. The left side of his face gets a bright red rash on it often. Today, it spread to his forehead and was hot to the touch. I was told by my pedi. that babies are notorious for having rashy skin, but the heat makes me wonder if I should be concerned at all.

Hi,
It may be urticaria. Kindly consult the dermatologist. Your son might respond to Antihistaminic syrup like atarax syrup. If needed,your doctor might give steroids in tappering dose.
I hope this would help you.
