Brief Answer:
It maybe heat rash or fungal infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like heat rash or fungal infection.
Baby's skin is soft and more prone to develop these infections.
I advice clotrimazole powder in such cases and have seen excellent response with that.
You can try this after consulting a dermatologist.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
