Alexander & I took a nap yesterday from 4 to 5 & when I woke up his cheeks
were all red & rash covered. First I thought it might be because I used a
lotion that had buttermilk in it (we're still not sure exactly what he's
allergic to) but I don't know. I gave him a bath but that didn't help.

The rash on his stomach & chest looks a lot like this:

but the rash on his face looks sort of like that but more concentrated &
pushed together. so it's like one big piece of red skin. It started on the
left side of his face and over the night spread to the other side of his
face & chin.

Anyone have any experience with this? Anything I can do? It's apparantly
itchy because he woke up several times in the night rubbing his face
against my shirt.

I read on the web that there are two types of dangerous rashes & those
descriptions don't fit this one so I'm not scared. I just wish I could
make him a little more comfortable.
