My 9 week old has had red inflamed pimply facial rashes since he was 3 days old, he’s been given antibiotics, eczema cream and steroid cream. The steroid cream helped for 10 days but as soon as I stopped it the redness became inflamed again. It has since spread all down his legs and arms and chest. I lather him in Shea butter and coconut oil several times a day otherwise he is flaky and dry. He’s breastfed and I do consume dairy, but he has absolutely no reflux or gas problems so they have ruled out cows milk allergy from my diet.
I myself have rashes on my arms and hands that are extremely itchy and sore, they crack and bleed. They’re different in nature to my babies rashes but I feel it’s worth mentioning as his head often rests on my arm with the rash. His cradle cap has finally gone by the way (mostly)
