Thank you all for the replies, I took her to the Dr today and was told that it is heat rash and I must not use anything on it as it could irritate the skin further.

Take your baby to the Doctor, Its more than likely heat rash but better to get it checked out.

My DS had something similar and it turned out to be cradle cap. I was recommended on his head/hair to use a clear baby shampoo like Johnson's & Johnson's not a creamy shampoo. It helped clear it up quite a bit. Do you breast feed? If so it could be a little milk rash when baby turns their had. My DS had a little rash from that as well. Let us know how you get on.

It took almost a week for the rash to go. I did not apply anything to the rash. I was careful that DD's bath water not be too warm after the rash showed up. Call the Welcare Ambulatory Clinic in KNowledge Village and ask if they can squeeze you in if you feel you should see a doc.

DD also had a heat rash that was pretty bad around that time. It went away on its own. However, I would go see a doc anyway. WHere are you located? I can give you nos of docs in Bur Dubai if you are nearby. thanks kcinthecity, I live in JLT, did you apply anything on it and when bathing her did you use anything? how long did it take for it to go away?
