27 week old covered in blotchy rash, Doctor say allergy but what could be causing it?

[katzglitterytree]

she only has veg baby rice or breastmilk so what could it be?

does it look like this.....will post link in a minute....

could it be something else like a fabric or baby bath?

Could be something you have eaten. HAve you eaten anything like Nuts or Seasame Seeds or any of the common highly alergic foods?

its only on her trunk, so unlikely to be contact allergy

Hi Katzglitterytree. My 23 week old has just had a blotchy rash that started on his body and then went upward over a couple of days until it got to his head and vanished. He was a little grumpy throughout, and has had a bit of a cold, but he was absolutely fine. We were baffled! Almost posted a message on here!! As long as your baby is alert, happy, not drowsy or doesn't a temperature, is not weak crying and you've taken baby to the doctor I don't know what to say! My DS just got over it with no ill side effects. HPH.

second picture down

I ask as my 9 month old has had this on and off for months and we thiought it was dribble rash...but it is eczmea....

becca how long did it last?

it is also on the backs of hsis hands, his knees and backs of calves

A few days, we put it down to a cold (kindly bought home by DS1 from nursery!)

it looks like the first picture but its not dry or raised

eczema,,,

hwat have YOU been eating..

ds2;s wasnt dry or raised at first

neither was DS's rash, just little individual blotches. It didn't bother him, i.e. he wqasn't itching himself or distressed in any way.

dd2 has had a rash for about 8 weeks.

just to add...i am not a doctor so seek medical advice...

popsy - normal food! i don't eat meat

milk products more that usual?
nuts?
seed type thingys????

I am warchining my milk intakre and have vcut milk out for ds2

we're in the system at the childrens hospital, seen the general med bod who took photos to the dermatologist, who we're seeing on friday, who said allergy probably

I hope you get the answers you need and that your DD is rash free soon. x

she only has breastmilk for milk and i have ~ 3/4pint of milk

thanks becca

ds2 has only had breast milk and home cooked foods and sometimes milk on weetabix....

I keep trying him with a bit of milk again and it seems, for him at least, to be cows' milk linked....

hope you sort it soon!

thanks
