Rash on Chin

[ruby412]

V is a little red and bumpy on her chin from being super drooly lately. What have you done to treat this before? Vaseline? Aquaphor? A&D?

[charlielove]

Aquaphor cures all IMO! Hope it gets better quickly.

[carawestt]

I agree with Charlie. Lincoln had it on his cheek/chin and it cleared up after a few days of applying Aquaphor.

I'll co-sign Aquaphor. When his chin is red/dry, he gets Aquaphor everytime his diaper is changed.

[ruby412]

Thanks ladies. She is aquafored up now. Hopefully it will clear up quickly.

Aquaphor!

I also use Aquafor as a cure-all. That is what I have been using on drool face.

[gmoneymommy]

I use aquaphor or lanolin, and a little breast milk. Hope it clears up soon!

[greenkitty98]

I use a little bm, let it dry, and then put some lanolin on it.

Aquafor and if she uses a passi a lot maybe change passi to something that has less plastic touching the face like Mam Air -http://www.mambaby.com/us/the-products/pacifiers/mam-air-672-11154-us.html

I just let it run it's course. I'd think using petroleum on it might be more irritating? I mean, I wouldn't put vaseline on my own face.

I have super dry skin and I do sometimes put Vaseline on my face-it makes a barrier between the chapped skin and the wind/irritation. Lotion doesn't do that.

aquaphor!

Me and my kids have the opposite. We're more sensitive to products than the lack of products. Know what I mean?

I have yet to find a lotion that'll help MY minimally dry skin that I get very rarely that doesn't break me out. It's not really a *problem*, but there are zillions of lotions and I can't find a dang one!

I get that. I try to keep my face pretty product free with the exception of a thin lotion (right now I think it is a eucerin face lotion that is allergy free). I don't need the Vaseline down here in the south, but in northern winter my face is a mess.

I don't break out much, though. Except the worlds largest stress pimples which make me look like I have giant face warts. I am currently getting a painful one inside my nose.

So I've been aquaphoring her since yesterday but she is still red. She doesn't take a paci but she sucks her two middle fingers. It's not helping that she has a cold so she's just a snotty drooly mess. Hoping it clears up soon. If the aquaphor doesn't do it, we'll try something else I guess?

[erniebufflo]

For us, Etta gets that and a little Nystatin (anti fungal) clears it right up.

[erniebufflo]

If putting petroleum products like Aquaphor on the face is skeevy to you, you can always try the standby of all cloth diaperers: coconut oil.

[ruby412]

Ernie, is Nystatin something I can buy at CVS? Or is it prescription?

Prescription. But if you happen to have some monistat lying around, you could try that.

I don't, but we have her 9 month on Monday so I can ask the doctor for a script if it's still rashy. Thanks!
