Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant have symptoms of red rashes all over the body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like

-allergic reaction
-contact dermatitis
- eczema
- psoriasis
-seborrheic dermatitis .

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses to rashes. You should take benadryl twice a day and avoid dry environment. You should consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order allergy test , blood test for IgE antibodies and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe anti allergic medicine , corticosteroid ointment and anti inflammatory.
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
