Best cream for rash on cheeks-from contact with food!

7 replies

My 6 month old has rashy cheeks. Always worse after he has rubbed food on them!! I clean them regularly and have increased frequency of aveeno moisturiser but they're looking pretty red. He always had such perfect skin Sad

Happily they don't seem to bother him and rest of skin is fine.

I'm happy this is a contact allergy and not s true food allergy, and am trying to avoid acidic fruits etc but....

Face cream recommendations please!!

My daughter has had this since she was about four months old. I used aveeno but that didn't help and I found that the suncream I put on her cheeks during the hot weather has cleared up the rash and dry cheeks completely. Not sure if that's helpfull to you

My dd had this especially with tomatoes.

If it got really red we might put some aveeno or sudacrem on it but otherwise we just left it. It was always worse if she was teething or had a cold.

She's 15mo now and it doesn't ever happen any more and her skin is back to normal. I think it's just a dribbly/weaning stage some of them go through.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks all!

I will move back to water wipes for his face and slather on the aveeno....

GP advised Vaseline as a barrier before meals and at bedtime, I think it works

Which aveeno cream are you using?

We found the standard daily care moisturiser was useless for DC, but the soothing relief moisturiser has worked very well.

Was also going to suggest vaseline before eating- gp recommended it for dd
