Rash?

[Kitters]

Hi ladies, My 7 week old son has a rash/red marks on the nape of his neck. When I think about it it's been there for weeks but for some reason I've only just thought maybe I should investigate it! Is it just heat rash? It doesn't seem to bother him at all and disappears briefly if you press it.

Looks like heat rash to me.

DD has this as well. When she was 4 weeks old she developed a massive heat rash all over her body and I put her in a luke warm shower (with me in there too, so it wasn't freezing or anything) and then let her air dry in the steamy bathroom while I played with her. I then just let her sit around the house in her nappies. It took two days to go.

She gets a similar sweat rash under her chin and in her skin folds in her neck on hot days. Its summer here, so she has it a lot at the mo.
