I thought it was ring worm. My 5 year
old son has had a rash off and on since he
was really little and it is rarely
localized, comes and gos it different
areas. Then my 6 month old daughter got a
similar looking splotch on her cheeks not
seeming to spread but ther are other
splotches on her lower buttocks and upper
thigh??? It does not seem to irritate
either they are reddish and very in color
intensity... Not sure why. It looks
flaky and dry and scaly to the touch. It
does not itch or anything?? Let me know
if you know what your rash is.

Hmmm that is strange. Is your little
daughter using a product that could cause
this. Possibly some type of shampoo or a
lotion you are putting on her. I doubt
you are because she is so young but I am
just curious. Also she could be allergic
to some type of food she is eating.

I am exclusively nursing and did not
started any solids until about 5 1/2
months. I thought that it might be an
allergy to the detergent I am using but I
have not tried it. Neither my husband or
myself have any type of skin allergy....
So it seems to be a mystery. The thing
with ringworm is I think it is bothersome
and this is not at all.
Thanks for your reply though!

Oh one other thing... I use a product
called mustela, I love it! It is soap
free and hypoallergenic so I do not think
it is her bath soap or her lotion. I
guess I will try washing her stuff in
"all" detergent and see what happens.

Sounds like pityarasis rosea to me.

Interesting.... We just visited newyork
and her skin totally cleared up while we
were there???? Likely from the humidity?
Now seems to be returning slowly. What to
do?
