    Question rash on cheeks?

    Summer woke up with this on both cheeks this morning
    Login | Facebook (< photo)

    had it on one cheek yesterday too, but settled before coming back again this morning.
    has been really irritable.
    looks like heat rash, but its bloody cold & last night i thought the endless crying may've been her eczema, so she only slept in a nappy coz i figured her clothes were iritating it.
    possible eczema, but its settled again now & its only on her cheeks this morning. Her back looked quite red last night, but that seems to have settled again for now.
    my last suggestion is teething with all the drool (theres ALOT) but its more rash like than just hot red cheeks?

    I can't see the pic but my kids used to get a pr!ckly type rash which felt hot to touch on their cheeks when they were teething.

    Maybe take her to the Dr.

    Hmm, my wall phot's are set to everyone...

    I might have to if it flares up again today. Settled right down now, while she sleeps.
    Its not really right on her cheeks, like I'd expect with teething iygwim? Its more up from her ear down...

    Anyone have an eczema reaction with banana's? The only thing I can think of is that I've had some banana bread as snacks the past 24 or so hours. (better than coke & nothing!)
    Still doesn't explain her back being so bad, but might be why her face is being affected? I couldn't eat tomatoes with DS without him reacting with a slight rash on his face. Not this bad though.

    All good Thanks!

    What does the rash do when you touch it?
    It looks very similar to Tristan's teething/eczema rash he gets (when he teethes the drool causes his eczema to flare up so we get a combo rash)

    Ah, not sure. It does have that leathery skin type look like her back iykwim.
    It goes white, then red again the second my finger moves.

    Have you eaten anything different? Or eaten a lot of something you usually eat?

    Going white is good

    Only thing I can think of is the banana bread. I've been having less milk/coffee/dairy than usual.
    I can't think of anything else, but my brain isn't working as good as it could be!

    It could be the banana bread, maybe just watch it over the next day or so. I don't think it's anything to be overly concerned about if it's her only issues (ie no temp, etc) hopefully it's just something you've eaten which has flared it up.
