HI,
The skin lesion your child has must be allergic rash.
- A 5 months child hardly has exposure to external allergens,except for,The clothe material,massage oil,baby soap,baby powder.All these thing may cause skin rash,
- The common allergy seen is milk allergy.( which mostly presents as digestive problem.-rarely it may have skin rash, baby food, any medication given to baby.
- You have to change these things one by one & observe for rash This way allergens can be diagnosed & avoided.
This type of rash is treated by moisturizers, and steroid ointments .
_ while dealing with a child's problem, it's wise to consult a child specialist, because children are very delicate. Child's behavier,cry, & physical examination are good guides for treating it.
Thanks,
