My son had those rash in the folds of his neck too. We found out it was because we didn't clean the folds of his neck properly.

You need to find out what is the cause of the rash, whether it is milk rash, heat rash or an allergy. Only when you find the cause then you will be able to solve the problem.

Hey thanks alot :)
I cleaned and rubbed his neck all the time when i bathe him, and used mild and natural body wash too..so was wondering what causes it..

Is your baby hot? The folds tend to get warmer than elsewhere. It could be accumulated perspiration. Maybe you can try to keep her cool or frequently use a cool wet cloth to clean that area to see if it improves.

You can apply those cooling powder on his neck? Sometimes my son also have it then i apply the cooling powder he will feel better after awhile. Give him drink more water too. Nowadays the weather also very hot so let him wear those sleeveless clothing.

Is it prickly heat rash. Usually i will apply aloe vera gel if got rashes. Try to keep the area dry and clean.

Thanks. .i applied this cream california baby. .maybe should change and others...ya weather is so warm.. i normally do not wear any tops for him at home.. :) so more cooling. .
 
My dd once had those. I didn't have cream on hand so I applied a little bit of desitin creamy (yes the nappy rash cream). Had to wash it clean during bath. I was lucky the rash really cleared up after few application. Thereafter, even up till now, everytime after bath I will lift her chin up to dry the area. Then when I apply her moisturizer I will apply a little at the neck area too. So far so good. No recurring rashes.

use cool boiled water to clean his neck few times per day and aft cleaning, use another dry towel/hanky to dry it. and apply baby lotion instead of powder. powder will worsen rashes =)
