Infant Rash

Last week we took monkey to the doctor for some concerns we had about her skin. She had a few spots of typical baby acne on her face which didn't make us think twice, but then she woke up one morning with quite a few bumps on her arms, neck and chest. Of course I didn't think to take a picture but it looked similar to this (thanks Google).

At first we attributed it to spreading baby acne, but as the day progressed it became more red and somewhat inflamed. We decided to wait and see what it looked like the next day, because she wasn't bothered by it at all, and had no fever. In fact she was down right happy (these photos were taken while she had the rash).

Since we had record breaking temperatures here in Washington, we thought the irritation may even be related to the heat. The next day the bumps were still there and still inflamed so we decided to make an appointment. Naturally, most of the bumps cleared up before the appointment but we decided we better still go. Yep, we're first time parents....better safe than sorry when it comes to bambino though!

Turns out she had a common infant rash. Totally typical, totally nothing to be concerned about. Especially since she wasn't bothered by it. The doc prescribed her an ointment and it cleared things right up!

Oh and since we were there they basically did a well baby check and little monkey weighed in at almost 12 pounds and 22.5 inches....you grow girl....ha.
