We live in a tropical country. I don't want him to be dependent on medicines. I have an asthma and I'm thinking maybe he has a skin asthma.

It is probably heat rash. Give him a luke-warm bath with hypo-allergenic soaps. Baby Aveeno makes a oatmeal bath that I use for my son when he gets diaper rash. And babies DO sweat, so the person above that said that they don't is wrong. Use prefume/dye free laundry detergent.

Totally common. It is called "Prickly heat". I have it when I get hot or sweat. It is caused from blocked sweat glands. The tiny rash / bump usually itch like CRAZY! google the words "prickly heat" in quotations and you will find a lot of info. I use gold bond powder from walmart and it helps a lot!

It's not an allergy form sweating. It's called a heat rash. Almost all babies get this.

You may want to try a new soap and lotions. My son had a similar thing and by changing his products got rid of the rash. Try things that are more organic.

try switching to more natural/organic soaps and foods if you don't already, my nephew had problems w/ alergic reactions and this seemed to help him alot. i would suggest seeing a doctor also and maybe have your son's tested for allergies or asthma

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. Did you mean he gets allergy symptoms when he sweats? Either way take him to see the doctor.

You should take him to see a Doctor, but you can also use a special Skin Lotion with oatmeal. Aveeno is a great product for that. Check out there site. http://www.aveeno.com

Which Tropical? He shouldn't be sweating at that age but don't panic. try nlm.net or vhn.org. but don't take it as gospel. I deal with this stuff every day. Please free to contact me, but a doctor is a good idea depending on where they are trained.

Could be a heat rash...You can reduce this by drying his skin as much as you can...
Best thing to do though is take him to see a doctor who can diagnos it.

there is no such thing as skin asthma, likely he needs a special powder for his skin, he has heat rash.
