Baby Face Rash Solution...

Hi Emily...I use Renew...not only does it work great - but it's safe...no toxins/chemicals or harsh ingredients. In fact all of my products (cleaning, personal, pharmaceutical, vitamins, etc.) are the best of science and nature and work great!! So my family (kids, pet and us) is safer and healthier!!

I have a 7 week old boy, and he got a rash on his face (still not sure from what) baut the Dr. told me to put corn starch on his face because it wont choke him like baby powder.

Vasiline works great.Your right it is probably from her drooling it happens with my son to.

My daughter developed a rash around the same time as solid foods. We found out it was because of the acid in the foods she was eating. Tomatoes were the worst. Given that it was around the mouth we couldn't use a diaper ointment, so we used vasaline to protect the skin from the acid. Only a small amount was needed twice a day in order to reduce the rash. I hope this helps.

I would try vitamin E oil mixed with a Vasoline lip balm. My 3 year old has a bad habit of chewing on her lip, which creates a red line under her month. It helps with alot with that.

Try eleminating just one of the babyfood items at a time to see if she may be a little alergic. I know she isn't eating tomatoes or strawberries yet, but since I had a neice that when she first started on those two foods broke out aroundd the mouth, I just thought there could be a slight possibility it is a food, but of course as you said may just bee a lot of drool it is just more like chapped skin.

Well if it is drool from teething I have given my baby teeting tablets (they are usually in the infant dept), they are great for the pain, drool, and everything else that comes with teething. Also, for the rash on the face you can get a product called grins and giggles that is for the face. It is like a huge tube of chapstick and it is non-toxic. They can even lick it and eat it, it will not harm them.

yes you should try the Arbonne baby care products (abc line) my baby boy starting getting a rash around the same area and at the time my mom was selling arbonne so i decided to buy the whole line and in a few days i saw a huge difference

I used Aquifor...after a bath at night and then again in the morning...

"bag balm", it comes in a green canister. That is what we use on our 5 mo old g daughter for face rash and if she gets an irritation around her anus also. 99% of the time it is gone the next day. We use it a lot on our own skin and the brooks army burn hospital in san antonio tex. Use it on burn victims. That is how we found out about it a few years ago.

Hi,

I've had great results with Aquaphor. It's basically super vaseline. You can get it at Walmart in the soap and baby aisle and in grocery stores (even Walgreens). We all use it for extra dry patches of skin and for scratches or ouchies. I put it on at night, and by the next day it is considerably improved or gone all together. My son frequently gets a dry scaly ring around his mouth that is there due to dry skin and from his habit of licking his lips instead of using chapstick. When I remember to use Aquaphor, it works wonders. I do think you should try to determine if a food allergy is causing this, but in the meantime this stuff will provide relief.

Hi Emily,
I have a 7 month old son and about a month ago I gave him baby food prunes and he developed red spots around his mouth. So I just didn't give him anymore and it went away the next day or so. So far he has not had a reaction to any other foods. So its possible that one of the foods you give her is giving her the rash. So you probably have to do a process of elimination to find out which one. I hope this helps.

it may be caused by the acid in the fruits and veggies that you are feeding her..my daughter had the same problem. try putting some vaseline around her mouth before you feed her to for a barrier and see if it helps...just wipe it off afterwards ...

same thing happended to us from drool with my kiddos (both). Dr. rec. ONLY to use Eucerin brand lotion on their little faces as it is hypo-allergenic and the best-it's over the counter and works well as a moisture barier and skin healer! And, if nothing else, it is great hand lotion!

Also, make sure it is not a reaction to an allergy. The lotion will only help heal and help the external skin to prevent chapping. An allergy to foods starts within the body and works its way out-ward.

Best of luck!

My 4 month old has the same thing. It's from him drooling, caused by teething. I usually try and just wipe his mouth and keep it dry - but that could be a full-time job :)

Try Calendula Cream by California Baby. It's made with all natural, organic ingredients. That stuff is a god-send. It's great for rashes, eczema, diaper rash, etc.

They carry limited items from California Baby at Target, but you will find a better selection at Whole Foods or Central Market. Their website is www.californiababy.com . You would think I work for them as much as I recommend their products! :)

Is it right at the corners of her mouth? My little girl has the same thing but she is 3 1/2yrs old and I didnt know why she is getting that.

Try Arbonne Baby Care Products (ABC line) I am a consultant for Arbonne and have baby samples, let me know and I will send you some, or visit www.betsycampbell.myarbonne.com to purchase the products. All is great for rashes, bug bites, eczema, etc.. I have great before/after pictures of the improvement after just a few days

I had a similar problem. I used everything and got no results until I found a product called Resinol that I had to special order from Walgreens. It works SO good on any rash that you or your family has. Just call the pharmacy and see if they can order you some.
