  It might be impetigo. That would need an antibiotic cream. However, if it's just redness from being wet (like chins chapping from drool when teething), vaseline would be a good barrier so it can heal.

  DD1 used to get a rash around her mouth from drool trapped under her nuk. We would make sure her face was very dry and put Aquaphor on before bed, and that helped a lot.

  my daughters eczema gets really bad when ever she has any type of cold.  What happens is, is that she gets her eczema and than a type of staph gets in there and it gets all over her face.  So sometimes she needs an antibiotic.  If it is just chapped, etc. aquaphor is a good choice to use, but its greasy like vaseline.

  Just a thought, but as always call the pedi if you think you should

  We use aquaphor too. Either from excessive drooling when teething (use on her chin), or under/on her nose when she gets a little cold which gets a little raw from the constant wet drip & my keenex wiping.  I put it on right after bathtime before bed, during the 5 minutes her face is actually clean & dry.

  Another Aquafor lover here.  Make sure you get the baby kind (near the diaper rash creams).
