skin break out

My 4 months 11 days baby is having skin breakout. Doctor diagnosis is allergic to the sudden change of soap and detergent i used. Any advice to reduce or make it go away..? I tried Physiocream on him but its worsen so i would not want to take any risk of using other cream over the counter unless doctor prescribed.. what shud i do?

The doctor didn't prescribe anything? You can see an allergy specialist for second opinion. Moisturisers like Physiogel, Ceradan should be safe. Only wear 100% cotton and don't use the detergent that you suspect caused the reaction.

Thank you for sending me a link. Will look up on it. I think im sending my four boys for an allergy test for future references... 😩 Its okay if its ex the main thing is i will know what to avoid.

I'd usually dress my child out in light and airy clothing while ensuring that my child doesnt sweat as much in hoping that it'll subside. Using other lotions that is not prescribed by the dr could aggravate the rash.

He's clothing generally all light and airy. He doesnt sweat as he is in a aircon condition house.

Hi, Please have pure cotton clothes for your baby which covers his body and also please consult the allergy specialist asap

Do see a pd not the usual gp. Try using cetaphil. And check with the pharmacist for another brand of laundry detergent
