DS has a rash on the inside of his legs - take to GP?

[Quootiepie]

DS has a rash on the inside of his knees and further up on both sides which he has had for about a week I guess now. It is rough feeling - feels like a graze but is not. I have stopped using baby bath and shampoo etc. to see if that helps, but should I take him to GP? It doesn't seem to bother him and no one on either side has eczma (sp?) or anything...

I would prob go to gp if it doesn't clear up after some time, but not rush there

has he got chubby legs? It sounds a bit like a friction thing, could it just be where his legs rub together in the heat?

How are you Quootie, it feels like I haven't 'seen' you for ages?

could be washing powder?

He has chubby-ish legs, I thought friction because it seemed a little better after wearing PJs instead of a bodysuit one night. Don't think it's washing powder as he hasn't had it before. I am ok, just been busyand trying to catch up on sleep alot!

Was it a hot day when it began? It does sound a bit like a heat rash

good to hear you are ok

erm... I can't remember. It's not like red pin pricks, it's 2 or 3 about inch long pink bits that are rough surrounded by hard pin prick like things - so hard to explain! Feels like sandpaper.

ooooh

don't know then

sound like it could be eczema, i'd take him to the GP.

take him to the GP, but as Franny says, no need to rush there. Make an appointment tomorrow.

I have noticed it has gone down alot since stopping baby bath, shampoo and baby wash - I guess i'll still take him to GP tomorrow though. x
