sweety replied. I put the cream for rashes on bottom on his face for just 2 days.
Hetal replied. sry about 2 replies...,my internet is acting weird past couple days,,,
Hetal replied. what al new food you introduced recently !
wat kind of rashes they are ?
measles like rashes could be the sign for ear infections, croup or appendicitis.
understandin the measles rashes is imp because i cannt view the rashes your baby has, and so, lets us for the time being talk about measles and diff types of rashes that are like measles.
like you said he didnt have ne fever,,,but did he show the following -
The measles rash starts as spots, which then begin to blend together. The rash begins around the ears and on the forehead at the hairline. Over three days, it spreads sequentially to cover the face, neck, trunk, arms, buttocks, and legs. Over this same three-day period, the Koplik spots disappear and the fever begins to fall. the presence of C's = cough, conjuctivitis,coryza(red eyes,very runny nose,cough) and the progression of rash...
does he have ne of these, or not !
if not, they arent measles.be rest assured.
or what does the spots look like ?
The rash is pink and flat. The spots are very small, giving the rash a fine appearance. It is similar to the measles rash but less extensive and fades more quickly in some parts of body.
also, other than that,he could be having ne kind of allegic rashes that are often caused by ne medicines that he might have taken recently, ne antibiotic or penicillin..These rashes consist of small raised pin-head reddish eruptions and flat red patches on the limbs and trunk resembling measles. The rash is often itchy so you will find your baby trying to touch it,scratch it, if at all he is having these. The rash usually appears several days after ingestion of the drug.several days could be 15days or sometimes 1month !
the creme that worked on bottom could be because often the rash that is on bottom could be just a severe diaper rash or ordinary diaper rash, though they might look like the same on face of baby..
or else try the cream for couple more days,may be the rashed on faces are severe than the ones in bottom resulting in longer time for recovery & required close observation.how long you have been trying the creme for rashes on both face and bottom ???
rashes like measles could also be the sign of body heat or prickly heat. its same reddish and little spots..wash his face often, with cool water. after washing it, leave it for a while and then apply the creme..let the skin brethe fresh air.
if your baby is above 7-8months, add an extra feed of yogurt.if its prickly heat, the rashes will vanish in 2-3 days.
if you are bf, then reduce the hot foods like garlic,ginger,chillies,or any such hot natured foods.
also, check on what you have introduced lately, sometimes babies reactions are seen on longer duration than other babies,,what is reaction time ? does he shw uneasiness after a day or 3 days or a week or 10days after new food was started...
clean your carpet, daily, if your baby is crawling on it. make sure you wash their clothes with mild detergent or with less amt of detergent rather than as directed per load. any contact with any kind of toxic substances or cleaners or household chemicals could produce rashes,,may be he might have touched them once,,,check on that.
cut his nails as and when they grow, babies above 4months are good in scracthing further making an oridinary rash turn into a severe rash ! and a severe rash might result in shape of any rash, in your case may be its measles like.
being summer, i would assume its summer as well at your country or state as well, so keep chnging his clothes every 4-5hours,,
wherever his hands touches other than his toys, wash your baby hands often, and apply a mild moisteriser..face is the most sensitive part and a crawling baby or rolling baby often uses hands as a medium to touch,feel everything and then the first thing he does, is take his hands to either tummy or face !
sanitise your baby toys everytime they fall on carpet or ground,,with a good baby safe sanitizer, in US, its clorox anywhere hard surface sanitiser & there are couple other brands in toyrus.
other than that, i dnt see nething that might have caused rash !
for cure, this being a virtual media, its difficult to say what creme would be best, its best that is prescribed by your dr, as he has actually seen it, with the enlarged mirror.
so wait a couple more days,and tell your dr that its not working ! he might want to try someother creme or if he doubts, he might ask for blood test, which is very rare..
good luck.
Regards.

if they are itchy, baby will put their hands often there,,1month old doesnt have coordination to do so, but he will feel uncomfortbale when you touch them. however if its Erythema Toxicum,then these rashes are non-itchy often and babies dont know they are having it !

if he has earinfection, by now he must have shown signs of uneasiness in ears like pulling his ears,putting fingers in ears, mild headache like doesnt like noise or will cry when noise is heard,some kids also hit their head with hands,mild fever or cold !
since he is 1month old he willnot show expressive signs, however he will show mild fever or cold like stuffy nose.
now you described the spots as small red spots with white heads so, it might be Erythema Toxicum(- red blotches with small white lump in the center (is the white lump in center ???) let me know !!!!
these are common infant or newborn baby rashes and not measles.
More than 50 percent of babies get a rash called erythema toxicum on the second or third day of life.some get it in 1 month to 3months of their life.
The rash is composed of inch to 1 inch red blotches with a small white or yellow lump in the center. They look like insect bites, but are not. They can be numerous, keep occurring, be present anywhere on the body surface (except the palms and soles), and look terrible. Their cause is unknown, they are harmless, and they resolve by 2 weeks of age. No treatment is necessary;but ointments or baby oil make it worse.in brief any applicant that has oil base, has proven to be bad for these spots..also, they often go off on theirr own by the end of 2-3months.in some cases they lasted upto 4months without causing harm to baby health.
this is if and only if your baby is showing the spots of the description i mentioned,,,
check if your baby starts showing ne other uneasiness like nausea, vomitting, feverr or change in colour of actual skin pigments,colour of stool changes all of sudden, cries when passing bowels,or urine,,
check with your dr, without any delay..
some cases have shown that the spots were clear as early as 2 weeks to 3months !!!! but and only but without any other uneasiness that i mentioned above !
if this is what exactly i have written the description, i dont see ne complication regarding this & i would consider it normal.
apply whatever your dr is giving,,he has seen the rash and he knows that it might work to some level...
other than that i dont see ne concerns.
also keep the spots open, no oil applied to it,or no creme that is oily,,keep it dry and clean..use light detergent and babies upto 1-2mnths dont sweat much since they just sleep without ne much activities,,,,so they dont need hard washes on their clothes or bed items,,just a hot water used for washing their clothes with a very very lil detergent is good to go...
also, try giving him soap bath every alternate days, and use mild soap like j&j head to toe everyday rather than using j&j soap...j&jsoap have shown dryness in some babies skin.
good luck and dont worry. he will fine :)
Good Luck
