[blparent] Persistent Heat Rash

Thanks, I'll keep the baking soda remedy in mind.

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.

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?
