We live in a tropical country. I don’t want him to be dependent on medicines. I have an asthma and I’m thinking maybe he has a skin asthma.

You may want to try a new soap and lotions. My son had a similar thing and by changing his products got rid of the rash. Try things that are more organic.

there is no such thing as skin asthma, likely he needs a special powder for his skin, he has heat rash.

I’m not sure I entirely understand your question. Did you mean he gets allergy symptoms when he sweats? Either way take him to see the doctor.

try switching to more natural/organic soaps and foods if you don’t already, my nephew had problems w/ alergic reactions and this seemed to help him alot. i would suggest seeing a doctor also and maybe have your son’s tested for allergies or asthma

Which Tropical? He shouldn’t be sweating at that age but don’t panic. try nlm.net or vhn.org. but don’t take it as gospel. I deal with this stuff every day. Please free to contact me, but a doctor is a good idea depending on where they are trained.

You should take him to see a Doctor, but you can also use a special Skin Lotion with oatmeal. Aveeno is a great product for that. Check out there site.

Totally common. It is called “Prickly heat”. I have it when I get hot or sweat. It is caused from blocked sweat glands. The tiny rash / bump usually itch like CRAZY! google the words “prickly heat” in quotations and you will find a lot of info. I use gold bond powder from walmart and it helps a lot!

It is probably heat rash. Give him a luke-warm bath with hypo-allergenic soaps. Baby Aveeno makes a oatmeal bath that I use for my son when he gets diaper rash. And babies DO sweat, so the person above that said that they don’t is wrong. Use prefume/dye free laundry detergent.

Take him to the doctor. It might be heat rash or maybe eczema.

Could be a heat rash…You can reduce this by drying his skin as much as you can…
Best thing to do though is take him to see a doctor who can diagnos it.

First dress him in 100% cotton clothes this should help. Then take him to the pediatrician who can tell you more about what’s happening.
Good luck

It’s not an allergy form sweating. It’s called a heat rash. Almost all babies get this.
