10 week old baby- unidentified cause of rashes

my baby is 10 weeks old now. She has had these rashes from when she was 8 weeks old. They started on the top of her forehead but were barely visible (initially i thought she had just scratched herself as it was just a tiny bit of redness). They then got bigger, redder and spread all over her scalp. They then spread on her face, legs, back. We took her to A&E where all the nurses and multiple doctors had no idea what it was. Her bloods came back normal. She has been acting completely normal too- feeding well, sleeping well, developing well, wet and dirty nappies etc. We had been referred to dermatology and they still don’t know what it is.

Stressful as it’s been over two weeks now and they are not getting better at all. We’ve had so many opinions from doctors, nurses, consultants, dermatologists and they all say that they don’t know what it could be.

@brokenintopiecesThank you. I just had a quick look online. Forgot to mention that they’re neither itchy nor uncomfortable/painful. Could it still be this?
