[blparent] Persistent Heat Rash

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  I’m wondering if any of you can help me.  My daughter has gotten a persistent heat rash on her back, and some on her sides over the rib cage.  I’ve tried extra washing.  I’ve tried Lubriderm lotion, which is free of dyes and perfumes.  I’ve tried Noxeema, Vaseline, Cortisone-10, and baby powder.  I’ve encouraged my daughter to sleep topless so her skin can breathe.  The rash itches, and then my daughter scratches at it and gets it all scabbed up.  Is there a remedy I’m missing?
