Rash around the mouth

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

DD has started to develop a rash around her mouth that we thought was because of her paci, but now it's starting to spread to the rest of her face (under the eyes, middle of the forehead). It looks like the acne she had as a baby, but the bumps are smaller and her face is red. I've been trying to wash (pat) her face more often and am using Aveeno on her.

Anyone else have anything similar? Could this be excema?

    This sounds like a staph infection or MRSA, take her into the pedi and make sure you have them test it.  Keira had that same thing for 2 months now.  They thought it was a regular staph infection but never cultured it until the 3 time we came in.  It can be very serious, make an appt!

    No problem!  I hope it is not that and something else but after my ordeal I would definately have her checked out.
