My daughter is almost six months old and is teething and drooling ALOT which is causing her to get a rash on her chin. We have tried a few things but they don't seem to help. What can I do to help it go away is there even anything I can do? And is this even normal?
My favorite thing to use with all 3 of my kids is the Lanolin breast cream. I'd use a wet washcloth to clean things up real quick and put that on. A little goes a long way and it's safe if they lick any of it off. It worked like a charm! My oldest was the worst with rashes from drooling and teething. The cream worked wonders!
The best thing is to just keep it dry. Maybe try a mild chapstick not on her lips but just on the sore spots to help repel the moisture. Sorry I can't be of more help.
hi belle. totally normal. what we did:
1. keep chin dry as much as possible. dab with dry cotton cloth that has been laundered in non fragrance detergent etc. with extra rinse cycle.
2. dab chin with aquaphor to keep it moist and provide a barrier with drool.
3. most important, don't worry. it does go away either with care or naturally on its own with time as the drooling subsides.
4. as she gets older, when she drinks citrus, wipe the area with a damp cloth so the citrus does not settle into the skin.

As others said, yes, it's normal; and for the rash, dry off her chin and apply some protectant like Aquaphor, Chapstick, or Vaseline.
maybe overnight you might want to try my Mylanta trick ... mylanta over the rash some desatin or vasaline covered with a bandaid ... I say overnight so she does not take off the bandaid. good luck never had this issue only bum rashes.
try a little triple antibiotic ointment. or you can put chap stick on it. when my 12 year old was a baby we had to keep chapstick on his cheeks or they would chap. good luck, R.
chap stick and it is safe if she gets it in her mouth
Keep it as dry as you can & when it was my DD, we put a little vasceline on it at night to keep the slobbers off of her. But keeping it dry from drool is best for her. Good luck Mama!
Aquafor is really good about that but if she continues to drool, it will come back. If you use aquafor, it should go away within a day. Keep a bib on her and wipe it constantly. maybe if she had a pacifier in her mouth she would suck on it and swallow some of the slob
