Could my baby's eczema-like rash be due to oats?

It is possible that the baby's rash could be due to an oat allergy. It is recommended to see a doctor for an allergy consultation to confirm the cause. Another option is to remove oats from the baby's diet and see if the rash disappears, then reintroduce oats to see if the reaction occurs again. This process is known as a "challenge." If the reaction is only on the skin and not affecting breathing, it can be done safely.
