baby face rash treatment??

[PrincessTwolyilah]

hi all

My 7 month old dd, seems to have developed little pimply spots/rash on both her cheeks and around the mouth area. Are there any suggesions as to how to treat it or general advice so it does not spread???

I read a post were one mum used nappy rash cream on her baby's face and that helped....

is she teething?

no i dont think she is teething

DD1 had something like that drool + wind and cold would do that to her. Also wiping with baby wipes or not wiping properly after a meal. Try wet muslins instead and pat dry.
I thing you can use a moisturiser, be careful with the face, I wouldn't use bum cream as it will end up in the mouth.

I was advise Vaseline by a pharmacist in the UK (as not toxic, it doesn't matter if it goes in the mouth) but would ask yours or see your GP.

Gah I should have check for errors before posting, sorry.

do the spots have yellow heads or acrust on them?

My DD started with little spots on her face around her mouth a few days ago. Today she got spots on her hands and feet. Turns out she has foot and mouth disease

thanks mums, for your advice, iv been trying vaseline and not useing wipes on her face. It seems to be clearing up now. only one cheek has some spots on it. :)

sorry to here about your little one. Hopefully she gets better soon.

My dd at 7weeks old!!!! ended up getting really bad chicken pox but got better (but that did take a whole month). It was a really difficult time for me. So basically now im a bit paranoid everytime i see a spot or something that shouldnt be there.
