Simply dry skin, or a rash?

Before I start: Already sent a pic to GP to get their thoughts!!!

any thoughts on this rash? Appeared on my 11 week old. Could it be due to wearing clothes washed in something different, I did have to throw an unwashed baby gro on her whilst out a couple of days ago due to explosion on her spare clothes she’d already been changed into so could it be that?

just wondering if I need to be majorly concerned or anyone’s had similar!

I’m wondering if it is some kind of yeast infection? Anyway, poor love,I would want them to see a medic PDQ. It looks so uncomfortable. Do ring 111.

I sent the pictures to the gp and they don’t seem concerned (she’s absolutely fine in herself). They’ve suggested it’s a dermatitis type rash and to stop all soaps and use a moisturiser 4 times a day! They’ve suggested Epaderm so I’m off to the shop!

I hope it's feeling better now 🤞🏻

My son used to get something similar when he was a baby as a post-viral rash- any snotty noses recently??
