#AskTheExpert Hi, my 7 months daughter has rashes under the neck. What can be done to remove them? Thanks

A. It is important that the baby’s neck is cleaned properly and remains dry, in order to prevent the development of a neck rash. Avoid over bathing your baby, as it can make his skin too dry. You can always wipe the baby clean with a damp cloth, in case he creates a mess. It may help to keep the baby in a well-aired room or cool temperature, especially during summers. Heat and humidity may lead to the formation of a neck rash. Resist the urge to over-dress your baby in too many clothes or cover him with heavy blankets.
