depends if you've been somewhere windy!

red , warm cheek on one side, usually indicates teething...if it is dry or scaly...apply a little aqueous cream..unlikely to be anything to worry about!

my DD has had alternate red & scaly patches on each cheek since she was 4 months old too........hers definitely related to teething.....is your DD dribbly & trying to stuff her hands in her mouth...when you rub her gums does it seem to help her?

Still sounds like teething to me. There are lots of products out there if you want them but I was recommended ANBESOL when I had my first baby so tended to use that. But only if you think your baby is in pain.
