HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really can understand your worry but this is just nothing to worry this condition are not at all harmful to your baby, this could be allergic rash this type of condition seldom require medicine, if this does not subside even after couple of week then you can start the following medicine.
1) Diphenhydramine lotion apply this on affected area
1) Diphenhydrramine tab. three times in day
this will for sure cure the allergic rash, have nice times
