Cheek rash

Maryng10 · May 2014

Hi! My lo developed this rash on his cheeks for 3 weeks now .. Dry and pink- red ; he keep sucking his hands and run on the cheek. I have been applying aquaphor, vasoline but they are no clearing. It doesnot look too bad for me to call the ped. I am ftm and don't know what else I can use .. Any advices would be great ! Thanks

Maybe aloe vera? I think that is safe for babies, but double check.

When my little guy developed a drool rash, it got so bad it felt like a scab. I did take my LO to the pedi and she said to put a very thin layer of hydrocortisone on it but follow it with aquaphor. We did that once a day and it started to clear up after a couple of days. GL!

Mine had a yeast rash from drool and pacifier, we used OTC clotrimazole to clear it up.

I also use baby oil and aloe Vera

Has it cleared up, OP? If not (and I'm just throwing this out there from experience), it could be a food allergy. My son's cheeks react this way to cow's milk. Hopefully it isn't that, but just in case.

Thanks everyone! I used aquaphor and within a day it cleared up
