6 months old baby has red thik skin spot
My 6.5 month old baby has slightly red thik skin spots on her leg. I have attached photos. I have never seen her itching there but may be this is due to that she is small to understand how to itch legs. She started eating food other than breast feed in this month only. We gave her apple puree, dal-pani, rice-pani, mashed banana yet. Recently gave apple puree and dal-pani. I am not sure if this is a food alergy. I see this on her leg from last 3-4 days. One leg it is in very little area and another leg it is around 10 cm long. I don't see this anywhere else on the body.
Please help me doctor. Thank you
