My daughter had a rash from armpit to belly button

Just a couple days ago  my 19 month old had a rash that went from her armpit to her belly button.  They were small, pale red dots that trickled down like drops of water.  She was scratching at them too so I know they were itchy.  She had even flaked the skin off directly under her armpit where it doesn't get as much air.  Here's what I did to treat them and within half a day they were gone:

While filling up the bathtub I tied a chamomile with lavender tea bag to the end of the spout so the water ran over it as it filled.  Then, once the tub was filled I put it directly in the water and let my baby soak in it for a bit.  Chamomile and lavender will calm the redness and itching like an antihistamine.  When she came out I applied a drop of lavender oil and waited a minute before applying on top of that an oatmeal/colloidal silver cream for eczema by nutrovena.  The only ingredients in the bottle are oatmeal and colloidal silver. 

Within 3 hours the symptoms were completely gone.
