[blparent] Persistent Heat Rash

[Veronica Smith]

Maybe it's not a heat rash.  I had something like that and I too thought it was heat rash and it turned out to be ring worm.  Which is not a worm at all, but a virus that goes in a circle.  You need special lotions and creams to get rid of it.
If you want to try an old rememdy, make a paste out of baking soda and rub it on, it heals heat rash, if that doesn't work, call your Dr. and let them look at it.  It could also be chicken pox.  Kids ge the vaccine for it, but they can still get a mild case of it.

Subject: [blparent] Persistent Heat Rash

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?
