What's best for dribble rash?

[YukoandHiro]

Dd2 (5 months) is a real dribbler as well as having reflux - everything gets constantly soaked despite our best efforts to keep her dry. Her fingers are always in her mouth and so she's got drool rash on her cheeks and a little in her neck folds.

All the creams I used for DD1's eczema don't seem to help - they seem to overload her skin as she doesn't actually have dry skin at all.

Sudocreme is helping a bit but not totally clearing it.

Any other ideas for soothing creams? And would bathing daily help? (We usually do twice a week - I really don't want to dry our her skin as it's in general its in such good condition compared to DD1).

Lansinoh nipple cream. It won’t rub or run off with dribble or water. It’s amazing. About £8 a tube but will last forever and makes a brilliant lip balm.

It’s made out of lanolin so no good if you’re vegan. If you’re not then definitely get some. Cleared my DD’s rashy chin up in about 36 hours.

We found having a huge stash of dribble bibs helped and we went through several a day. That seemed to keep the worst of the dampness of it at bay, and gave the emolient cream time to do it's job. I can't remember which one we used but there's several available over the counter that are all much the same thing.

A barrier cream aka nappy cream. Sudocrem can block pores and dry the skin out where as nappy cream creates a barrier on the skin against the moisture

Hey! My baby has similar rash on his chin from dribbling. I usually dry it really well and coat it in vaseline, especially when going down for a nap or bedtime when I know it has the best chance of staying on!! Haven't got any other ideas...I feel the vaseline gives a protective barrier.

I used to put a layer of Sudocreme to clear it up with Vaseline over the top and then use Vaseline on its own.

Otherwise a lanolin cream is very good, I have recently been using it on my school age child as they are constantly licking lips and chin which causes a dribble type rash.

Thanks everyone I'll give some of these a go
