8 month old with worsening neck rash!

My 7 month old started developing redness under her chin and neck. Initially put this down to drool and dribble from teething. I kept it clean and dry often, moisturised with baby oilatum or aveeno baby. The rash has seemed to flare up more over the last week or so. Our GP prescribed clotrimazole cream thinking it was thrush related. We’ve been applying that religiously 3x a day as prescribed with no improvement?? The redness seems to have moments where it is really red and angry and she itches it more recently. The only thing that’s kind of helped is aloe Vera gel which seems to make the redness go down but the skin then becomes quite dry and flaky?? Definitely feels like eczema, not certain it’s thrush. Any advice that may help???

Go back to the GP.

Shouldn't be using aveeno on any broken skin as it can lead to oat allergy.

Oilatum is also horrible. Have you ever used it yourself? It stings!!

I would cover with metanium (can you still get that?)

Agree about going back to your GP. What worked for dd was conotrane cream - magic stuff
