Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history rashes on baby's body may be due to several causes.

It may be due to allergetic reaction, infection.

You can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally three times a day. If you are still concerned then you should consult a dermatologist.

He may procure complete hemogram and skin patch test for assurance.

Till then keep him well hydrated and maintain hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale.
