    little red bumpy rash

    My DS has had a little red bumpy rash on his cheeks and upper arms since he was born. I have taken him to the doctors and the chemist who have both said if it doesn't irritate him don't worry about it. Its been there for so long i just want it to go away, it gets red and looks quite raw sometimes. I have tried all types of moisturizers and nappy rash creams. Any ideas?

    It could be "folliculitis" where the sebaceous glands get clogged. Basically it's just something people have. DS#1 and I have it. Seriously, if he is not worried or scratching then don't worry about it, although I know that's hard. Kids grow out of more things than you could imagine
