drool rash?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

DD got her first two teeth this week.  On Thursday night I noticed her cheeks looked a little rosey. Friday morning they were still red and the reddened areas were pretty hard.  Areas on each side are the size of nickles. 

They don't seem to bother her too much. 

I've put a little hydrocortisone on her cheeks.  This seemed to help a little. We are trying to keep her cheeks as drool-free as possible, but with teething, this is tough. 

Would this be drool rash?  Are there any other remidies?

    We put aquaphor all over DS's face twice a day and that seems to keep his skin soft and the redness away.  It also creates a barrier between LOs skin and saliva.

    DS got a drool rash on his chin pretty bad. I just tried to keep it as dry as possible and put vaseline and lotion on his face. It eventually went away. :)

    Yes

    We do the same thing, but only at night after his bath.  The key with Aquaphor (and really any barrier cream) is to make sure that the skin is completely dry before you put it on.

    This!  I put it on her at night, right before bed.

    Aquaphor is amazing! I put it on him at night too before bed and it usually will clear up any redness he has, especially on his chin, overnight.

    Lanolin worked wonders for DS' teething rash.
