Heat rash or baby acne or something else?

My little one developed a rash last Saturday over the bank holiday weekend when we got some nice weather. I did put a post up asking about it and the advice I got was to ring 111 which I did. After talks with various nurses/clinicians they decided they weren’t worried about it and to ring my gp on Tuesday / Wednesday mid week if it had not gone. Now, didn’t disappear completely by Tuesday / Wednesday but it had gone down a lot! So I figured it wasn’t anything to worry about as if it was it would’ve got worse if anything. So I left it and didn’t call. Yesterday we had another day of really nice weather and the rash has come up again. This is what is making me think it’s heat rash but I can’t be so sure. I’m going to ring my gp on Monday regardless but just want your opinions as to what you think this could be?

My DD and DS get this when it's hot, it looks like prickly heat/heat rash to me, it's where it's hot and there sweating, I always just try and keep them cool in breathable clothes and bath them with cooler water, usually does the trick. But I would still call the GP just to be safe like you said Smile
