Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your baby have red acne all over the body after taking Colimax drops. Apart from constipation this drug don't have any such adverse effects except in high doses. I would suggest you to take antihistamine medication such as benadryl as it seems to be allergic reaction in your child. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition. Doctor may prescribe steroid ointment or antibiotics course. Take Multivitamin supplements.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
