What does heat rash look like?
DS has got this rash, I'm wondering if it's heat rash but I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like. He's got no other 'symptoms'.
It's like little tiny red spots all over his tummy/back/thighs. The inside thigh/crotch area is the worst.
Very tiny spots, and not very red, would almost say it looked like pink goose bumps.
Yep that's what it looks like. Not too diff from a hormone rash when they are breastfeeding too. Heat rash usually centralises around the tummy and creases. My babies who got heat rash have gone on to have excema as a preschooler and eventually grow out of that.
We thought my daughter had heat rash, took her to the Dr and they mis-daignosed it as a viral rash. She actually has a skin condition called keratosis pilaris
If it doesn't go away it may pay to get him checked out.
