Dalton has a rash. The problem is, its not where his clothes are, so I dont think it is something he is wearing.
It is on the sides of his legs, his arms and some of his face.
I wonder if it could be the detergent, and its something we washed, like his sheets, thats why its only on his legs and arms, from lying on it.
How can I be for sure? Would putting some on his skin where it does not have a rash help me figure it out?
How long would it take for him to react where I put it, if it is that?
The reason I ask, is because we did just buy new detergent, but I didnt start using it until last night, so I am not 100% sure about it.

sounds like it could be detergent mel. Im not sure if you put some directly on the skin if that would show results right away or not. Worth a try. Maybe try re-rinsing the sheets and see if that helps get the extra detergent out of them.

I am rewashing his sheets, ours and all the clothes we washed yesterday.
I hope that it is the problem, so hard to figure things like this out.

I have cleaned all that was washed with it and he seems to be doing better. I checked him this morning and its gone. So now I will see if it comes back and if so, what he touches when it does and then I will know for sure.
