Rash on 9 month olds neck

Hi, my 9 month old DD has had a rash on her neck for about 2 weeks now and it seems to be getting worse. I asked a pharmacist who gave me a cream to try but it’s not helping so I booked a GP appointment for Monday but wondered if anyone has experienced it before?

I thought maybe it was a dribble rash but it goes round to the back of her neck and down her back. She has no other symptoms other than whinging a lot and being fussy (but that’s nothing new).

Looks a bit like eczema? From experience, pharmacists aren't much help with this sort of thing. Good that you have doc appointment

I thought it looked like eczema but the pharmacist said it wasn’t Hmm - I didn’t trust her that’s why I made the doctors appointment. I’m wondering whether it’s a food allergy as she’s had reflux since 5 weeks old and has always been a hard baby.

Just for anyone else searching this, it’s been confirmed as eczema by my GP.
