What is this rash?

DD 6.5mo has had this rash flaring up over the past few days. I have put E45 on it, and she does suffer from eczema usually on her legs, but this looks different. I think it could be prickly heat but want to be sure. I will take her to GP but wary of wasting their time - I have taken her in for a few PFB things.

Looks eczema ish to me. Only as DS has eczema and it looks similar. If DS came up like that i'd be using his steroid creams, but then I know his skin. What do you usually use for eczema? I thought heat rash was more blotchy but I could be wrong.

We used to use Cetraben but it didn't seem to help so we went back to using E45. Her eczema on her legs hasn't come up, it's now all over her torso and arms. I did put Cetraben on it tonight though and it has calmed down.

Possibly heat rash but if she has been off colour I would say a viral rash. Doesn't look like excema to me.

Thanks sneezecakes she has been a bit moody lately but I had put it down to teething. I think I will brave the GP's eye rolling and take her tomorrow.

Arhghhh! Teething, the root of all evil and blamed for everything Grin.

Sure it will be fine and the gp won't eye roll I promise!
