My 18 month old broke out in a rash on her arms?

Question

wats the best way to get rid of it i think its from my laundry detergent but im not sure and its not itchy for her its just all over her arms and a little on her legs

thanx =)

Answer 1

I would take her to the doctor to make sure.  It's probably nothing, like a reaction to detergent...but you never know.  My friends son just got over foot and mouth disease (rash that started on his arm and then spread).  It was very contagious.  He was fortunate that he didn't get sick, but the little girl he got if from was very sick for about a week.  

YOu can never be too carefull:o)

Answer 2

Purex free and clear is a great detergent for kids with sensitive skin. Also try not using fabric softener on her clothes and see if that helps. It could also be a heat rash, if she develops a fever or is lethargic I would call her Dr.

Answer 3

My daughter just had the same thing...but we didnt know what it was from because it was on her face too.

I thought it was chicken pocks at first....anyway....I just put her in a nice cool bath and washed her all over with a washcloth.

Then I put the regular cream I use on her.

It was gone the next day.  If it wasnt gone the next day I was going to take her to the doctor....but it worked.

Answer 4

When i was in school i had a rash,and had to have 11 days off,i did not feel ill nor did i itch,but i was not allowed out because they did not no what it was .Anyway eventually i noticed that every time i had a bath the rash would get better then get worse when i put clothes on.So it was decided that it was washing powder.Ive never had it since. So try bathing and see if it makes a difference. But i would probably not take my chances and visit a doctor as well.
