"Rash" around mouth?

[Liv]

Can anyone enlighten me on what this might be from? It's been there for over a month now, not inflamed or even red usually, doesn't pop up after eating anything in particular. I thought irritation from constant spit/drool?? I don't put any cleansers or lotions on/near her face. Just wondering if I should be concerned.

I'd say just from being wet. Does she rub it a lot? Any other spots on her body? I'd try rubbing some coconut oil on it.

No paci @iheartmyshiba, she's been done with that for a few months. That would have been a good explanation, though! I've seen that ointment and it looks awesome. Will have to check it out!

No other irritated patches anywhere, Lola. Coconut oil is our go-to for everything, maybe that would help.

Right now I just try to keep her face clean and dry, especially right before she goes to sleep.

I bet it's just from constantly being wet from drool.

That's what I'm betting. She has her tongue hanging out all the time like a puppy dog. Not sure why, but she thinks it's funny.

Probably a little drool rash. Do you have any lanolin cream you could try on it? It would be safe to be near her mouth.

My son gets this from time to time. Lanolin usually clears it up.

Lanolin, Aquaphor, or coconut oil (especially after you dry it out all they way) should help if it's just from being wet.

I'd avoid the aquaphor around the mouth. It says on the packaging to avoid getting it in mouth or eyes. Lanolin and coconut oil are ok if it gets ingested.
