Chapped skin

alcrimmins · October 2015

My l/o has majorly chapped cheeks due to sucking her thumb combined with excessive droll. It gets all over her fingers and she rubs them on her cheeks. I am constantly wiping the droll from her hands and face. Does anyone have any recommendations on a lotion/cream to use?

Edit: stupid grammar

I use the boudreuxs butt paste on her neck rolls when they're chapped. Works really well! Can be a bit messy though.

@dancegurl1118 Thank you! I'll have to try that if I'm in a pinch. My mind was drawing a blank earlier as to what I could safely use. I ended up buying baby aquaphor! I hope her skin doesn't end up being super sensitive like mine!

I absolutely love the honest company healing ointment!

Bag balm.
It's in a green tin and is actually used for cows udders lol.
It is sold at Walgreens.
It's essentially hopped up lanolin.

I love the honest companies products but their healing balm didn't cure my babes red/chapped neck from drool fyi

I tried the baby aquaphor last night and this morning you can hardly tell it was even chapped! Yay! She only has one small spot on her cheek instead of the whole thing.
I also traded her thumb for a pacifier every time I saw her sucking on her thumb last night.
Thank you for the suggestions ladies!

Edited to thank you! :x

@klkonwi the honest balm was crap. It did nothing.

We used Eucerin eczema lotion. It's a little pricey but works really well.

Honest balm is a lifesaver in our house. It clear both my kids rashes and zits overnight. Miracle. Just shows how different all our skin chemistry must be. My older son has really sensitive skin, she's moisture eczema products from target are our other go to.
