Why Does My Two Year Old Child Get Rash On His Chest?

My grandson is two years old. He keeps on getting a rash on his chest. It is in the middle of his chest between his breast. He gets it about every two weeks. He has been on steriods off and on. His doctor says it is something topical that he is alergic to. We can not figure out why he gets this rash. Any suggestions?

Hi

It can be due to seborrhea. You can apply calamine lotion or alovera lotion for symptomatic relief. Do not keep the area wet. If symptoms persist you can take him to a dermatologist and get evaluated.
