My 6 week old has had this on her face for a few days now. Don't know if it's worth seeing the GP. Anyone any idea what it could be or how I can clear it up ?

Looks like eczema.

I was wondering if it could be cradle cap as it appears to be around the eyebrows. But it does look a bit red.

Defo eczema. Need to see the GP really @Barbie24 If you can't get in for a bit, (and today is Friday, so you won't get in for at least 3 days!) maybe pop to a pharmacy tomorrow.

I've tried the mustella lotion and the my little Coco everything balm. I'll get her booked with the GP on Monday and see if the pharmacy can give me anything in the meantime. Thanks all.

With such a young baby I wouldn’t put anything on babies skin, without medical advice, good idea to see pharmacist. Hope babies skin clears up soon OP.
