• How long can a heat rash last?

My baby is 1 and has a rash with big, lumpy red blisters. His doctor think that it's just a heat rash though and that it'll go away on its own. He also told us to use baby power, and so on. How long can a heat rash last?

All summer if the baby is hot and sweaty. IF the sores are open they may get staph infection and need another treatment. Yeast can also get in the rash. If it is not getting better, get it rechecked,. Try to keep the baby esp at night

This sounds like you need to see another doctor. Blisters on a one year old needs a second opinion
