Posted on Sun, 14 Mar 2021
Question: My 9 month old baby boy keeps getting some red rashes/boils on his arms, palm, forearm, cheeks and behind the ear. these are definitely not mosquito bites. that's because we don't get mosquitoes here.

the red rashes remain for 3 to 4 days and slowly fades out. except behind the ears nothing are itchy.

He is on Brest feed and solid good. We wash his cloths on washing machine and use surf excel. I take him to morning sun around 8.30 or 9 at least 2 times a week ( When ever he is awake).

what could be the reason? food, detergent, ......?
