Really bad rash

2017-12-31 05:33:23
My 3 month old baby has a really bad rash on his chest and on his cheeks, his pediatric says he gets it because of cradle cap and so she prescribed him hydrocortisone ointment 2.5%. It helps a little but then comes back a day or so. Should we take him to the hospital?
