ds2 is 17weeks and teething and naturally has very very sore red cheek and awful awful rash on his chin (looks like his eczema is starting to flare up aswell) i use creams/vaseline etc but the minute i dry him and put cream on he starts dribbing again and washing away the cream!! Is there anything that sinks in immediately?

I wish there was something to dry up the dribble before it came out!!

Aw, it is rotten for htem, isn't it?
Aqaueous cream is a good moisturiser - you can get it at the chemist - but if it persists you might need hydrocortisone from the doctor. We used it a few times for ds, only when it was really bad.
