DS (13 months) has had a rash by his mouth for several weeks now. I have taken him to the GP who has ruled out thrush and eczema and agrees with me that it is due to his dribbling. He is soaking his tops at the moment so he must be teething. Plus he has just started walking which requires concentration and he has to stick out his tongue
I have been plastering Vaseline on him to keep it from looking too red which helps but it isn't going away. It gets worse too if I don't keep on top of it with the Vaseline and can spread along his chin and up past his nose.
Any suggestions? It looks so uncomfortable and I want to get rid of it!
BTW - He doesn't seem bothered by it, it just bothers me!
