make sure its pure aloe gel though, not just a cream with some aloe in it!

could i get it from asda or do i need to go to a pharmacy?

Where can I get it from? DS has had a similar problem for months and we've tried everything else.

you can get it in a health shop.

but I'm sure boots/tesco/sainsbury type shops do it these days (dont know though as I usually only use small local shops)

My ds has similiar rash, but also has it on top of his lip, under his nose. Do you think it's all conected to dribbling and teething?

PP, i think its sounds like it would be due to the dribbling.

had a quick look at asda and sainsbury online and they dont seem to do it, so you might need to go to a health shop. (or get it from an online health shop, there are loads)
