Contact dermatitis / eczema

Almost 2 yo has had 2 huge red rashes appear in last few days - one I think from new laundry detergent and one from suncream she hasn't had for a while (but has been fine with before). Suncream one was v itchy. Also has a rash on leg that doctor said was eczema (didn't respond to hydrocortisone but doesn't bother her) - has had for a couple of months.

We've been using aveeno every day since leg rash appeared - any advice? Trying to get back to doctor but they don't seem very worried. Could it get worse? Why has it all suddenly appeared (never issues before)?

My little one gets this from rubbing against fabric (e.g. against pillow at night) when it's hot, sort of like a persistent heat rash - could it be that?

@tangobravo I don't think it's heat rash as appeared minutes after putting on the top / suncream so seems related
