Heat rash?

My DS had red bumps on his face, neck, and a few on his chest. I have checked with Dr. Google and I think it may be heat rash. When I mentioned it to my mom, she said I had heat rash and eczema when I was a baby.

Has anyone had experience with heat rash?If it's heat rash how do you treat it?

The only other thing I can think of is an allergic reaction.

Do you think I should call my Ped? I have an appointment already set for tomorrow morning.

  • Looks like what my son had. Doctor said it was seborrea, not sure on spelling, anyways its a rash and he gave us a prescription cream to put on and it cleared up in a few days. I would say its worth a trip to the doctor even if it isn't bothering your babe
  • Took my dd to the doc a few weeks ago for the same thing. I figured it was one if the things you mentioned, but she had it for over a week so they told me to bring her in. The nurse practitioner couldn't tell me what it was either and just said to put aquaphor on it. I also bought a wadela face cream that seemed to clear it up better than the aquaphor. If he's not acting sick or running a fever, I would just try the aquaphor and see if it clears up in a few days.
