Rash that just won’t disappear, help?!

Hi! My baby boy has this rash, sometimes it flares up red on his chest & back but nowhere else! It’s bumpy & very dry, his face is also hit & miss whether a rash will appear.
We are currently dairy free due to possible CMPA but the rash has reappeared again.

Is it due to washing powder?

Hi we changed to dairy non bio & fabric conditioner about 2 weeks ago & have seen no change in skin.

Drop the fabric conditioner

How long have you been dairy free? My girl looked like this and it took 6+ weeks for it to settle for good. Also, you might try cutting out soya too as it often goes together with dairy

do you use any bathing products? Bath foam, shower gel, moisturiser?
DD developed an allergy to chamomile as a baby & loads of baby products contain it.

My baby girl is 12 days old and a rash appeared on her face yesterday and it got better last night and now it’s on her forehead and is all bumpy and I’m unsure of what it is and how to help settle it.
I would love any advice and recommendations on what I can do to help as i feel useless as I don’t know what’s caused it and I don’t know how to help her

Hi, my little one actually ended up having a milk allergy, it could just be newborn acne which is very common?

We went to get her checked to make sure it wasn’t an allergy and it’s just newborn acne you’re right!
