Since he was about a month, the rash seemed to come and go. I have used a number of prescriptions but they dont work.Also he has been on formula since birth. He is now 5 months old. I am figuring out whether i should change his formula and see if it helps. The rash is particularly worse on his cheeks, it is round and red. Could it be the formula?Please help my poor little boy.

Talk to his doctor before switching his formula. It is a good idea to find out if he is actually allergic to it first. If the rash is under his chin make sure that you put a bib on during feedings to keep milk from getting trapped in the folds.

My baby had a rash recently and we panicked coz it was tiny dark red pin-prick like spots that didnt disappear. We took her to the hospital and it turns out that it was a symptom of the viral cold like thing she had a week before. Has you little one had a cold recently maybe? Mine gets a bit of a rash on her neck occasionally too, more pink and blotchy. This is just from dribbling milk though. Sounds like it might be an allergy though.

For us it was the detergent. Stop using fabric softener and only use Dreft. Or go to a health food store (Whole Foods or Wild By Nature type place) and get the all natural detergent and fabric softener. Wash the babies and the entire families clothes in it. Once we started doing that , my daughters rash cleared up totally.

It could be the milk.
My son is having the same problem. He'd nurse and have this rash after nursing because he got mlik all over his cheek, plus he's drooling.
Wipe the milk of his face after every feeding with warm washcloth.
Use hydrocortizone - it helps eliminates the dry skin and redness.
Humidifier helps too.

This is known as milk rash and it is common.
When your baby is done eating, clean his/her face with a wipe that is both asrringent and soothing. Most baby/wipes fit this category.
It is more common among fair skinned children.
If you routinely clean then add a soothing lotion baby will get better. Protect fair skinned babies from the sun.
You should probably bring this up at your next "Well baby Check".........but don't worry, it isn't unusual.
Children come in all skin types.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/tO0Kp

It sounds like eczema and on babies that young there is not much they can do but you can try a cream with e.g. diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine, and cyproheptadine the baby section has a couple creams for it. Good luck
