Question: Hi,
My Baby is 5 months old, from last couple of days she is getting lot of red color rashes around her body(neck,shoulders,chest ect) . I understand kids get rashes on the folded body parts but is it normal to get the rashes on the unfolded body part like chest,shoulder etc. Please suggest me.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr. XXXXX,
I understand your concerns but don't worry. There are several reasons for such rashes in infants. The most likely being atopic dermatitis. I would recommend you to upload the images of skin rashes so that I can suggest you the best possible line of management. Also, mention about the feeding (breastfeeding or formula feeds) and family history of allergic tendency.
