Rash under neck

How old is she? Is it hot where you live? Do you hold her a lot? Wear her a lot? The rash on her neck could be heat rash. If it's heat rash, keep her cool and dry, in as little amount of clothing as possible. Someone told me once to put baby powder on it, but I never did. The yellow scab behind her ear...could it be from a scratch from her nails? Otherwise, my first thought was eczema.

she's 3.5 mos. i thought it was the heat at first so i had kept her undressed, but it didn't seem to make a difference. it seems to be spreading too.

try benzonite (sp?) clay. it's like a powder, you sprinkle it in the folds of the neck and let it stay there for te whole day. check on it at the end of day ... if there are wet clumps of clay gently use a cloth to get rid of and reapply. it absorbs all the wetness and gets rid of rash.

this worked great for my very chubby dd who always gets a red rashy neck!! and it's natural and nontoxic. avail. at your local coop or natural food store.

hope it works fro ya!

My dd had this from spit up dripping into her neck folds and behind her ear and from the heat. I cleaned it with a water/tea tree oil solution, then put pure aloe vera gel on it, and it was gone within a few hours.

We never had the problem, but our ped suggested using powdered corn starch if it happened.

spit up and milk collects in the neck and behind the ear. We had the same problem (well, not raised red bumps, just sort of iritated under the neck) until we started keeping her neck really dry and scrubbing behind her ears at bath time. I also put Calendula ointment on her neck if it gets bad.

thanks for the advice. we have some corn starch so i'll start there. it must be from the moisture. she's very drooly now and it's hard to keep it dry under her chins!
