What is the cause of rashes on my son's hands, legs and body?


Over the past couple of days my son has developed many rashes over his arms, legs and upper body. I suspect it is due to the dust in Kuwait as we have had frequent dust storms over the past 2 months.Could it be due to dust in the carpets and curtains.

Yes it could be due to dust. But I think it may be a heat rash. If it's been really hot there it could be heat rash. Try to keep him clean and dry and change his diaper/clothes when necessary. Definitely try to keep the dust to a minimum, it could be aggravating his skin when he sweats, therefore causing the rashes. Hope it clears up soon. Good luck!
