Another thought on the widespread rash that seemed to start under the breasts .......... Staph? I have seen this in breastfeeding women and wondered if they picked it up in hospital. Do some of the spots look like pimples? Any other skin infections or sores inside her nose? A swab of the worst area (and from inside the nose) will confirm it. I've just reread your post and see this has been going for 2 months, which makes a bacterial infection less likely. Anyway, the swab may confirm candida (and there is a type of widespread rash you can get in association with a fungal infection - id reaction, I think) Lisa Amir MBBS, MMed, IBCLC in Melbourne, Australia *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
