Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The rash does not appear to be due to vaccination. There must be some other reason for it and the most common reason at this age appears to be atopic dermatitis.. I suggest apply some bland ointment or oil and observe. It they persist then an opinion from a doctor shall be taken.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son an early recovery.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Rash on cheeks and over folds of neck points towards eczema and is very less likely due to vaccination.
I suggest you to apply calamine lotion 2 to 3 times a day.
If symptoms persist get him evaluated by pediatrician as physical examination will be needed.
Wishing your baby good health.
God bless..
