I need to get some more Aquaphor. The all purpose nipple ointment I put on last night has hydrocortisone in it and it helped a lot but since she is going to be drooling for a long time to come I need something more mild that I can use frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768835 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 13:13:58 +0000 SweetiePie 2768835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drool rash! And I made a post about it when my son was exactly the same age!</p> <p>Here's my post, good advice from some Bees and I updated with what worked for us. </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drool-rash-under-chin-i-dont-see-how-it-can-ever-get-better#post-2129206" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drool-rash-under-chin-i-dont-see-how-it-can-ever-get-better#post-2129206</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768833 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 12:46:05 +0000 MamaG 2768833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I would expect it's just a rash. Apples have some acid in them and may have further irritated the drool rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768827 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 11:23:12 +0000 IRunForFun 2768827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Super weird, but I have a friend who developed it with stone fruits over the past few years. </p> <p>The rash looks better but still there this morning so I'm thinking it is just the drool/teething. I never knew it could get so bad! I am going to try homemade applesauce with her tomorrow so fingers crossed no reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768784 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 22:34:01 +0000 ladybee 2768784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: looks like drool to me. My husband has OAS and it didn't show up until college. It's so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768761 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:23:53 +0000 IRunForFun 2768761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kitty: I actually put some all purpose nipple ointment on it tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768758 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:07:32 +0000 Beehive 2768758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I just did a little digging, and apparently it's more common in adults, but possible for children (not sure about babies, though). I think you need to have a pollen allergy to have OAS - my husband developed this in his 30s after some really bad spring allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768756 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:04:54 +0000 kitty 2768756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like the dribble rash my son had. I used to put lanolin on his chin to protect from the drool and it seemed to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768755 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 18:55:19 +0000 IRunForFun 2768755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Oh I didn't know that about the oral allergy syndrome, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768754 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 18:46:32 +0000 Beehive 2768754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks like drool rash to me - maybe the raw apple just irritated the rash a bit. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that oral allergy syndrome (linked to pollen allergy) was an adult thing. Not a doctor at all, but that's my impression from the photos! Hope the rash goes away soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/allergy-or-teething-rash#post-2768750 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 18:24:52 +0000 IRunForFun 2768750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD (7 months) is a really rashy baby. She has eczema and just seems to have sensitive skin. She gets diaper rashes, drool rashes, and heat rash really easily/frequently. </p> <p>The past couple days she's had some eczema type spots on her chin which I assumed were from drooling. Her 2 bottom teeth just broke through the gums so there's been a lot of drool. Today I fed her some raw apple and it seems like the rash on her chin got worse within a couple hours. She's had applesauce and other purees made with apples without a problem and even sucked on our apples in the past so I'd be surprised if it were an apple allergy but who knows. I read raw apple can cause oral symptoms if there's a pollen allergy.</p> <p>But Google shows me this rash also looks similar to a teething rash...</p> <p>Either way I'm going to avoid apples till it clears up. </p> <p>Anyone have thoughts on what it looks like? </p> [attach=3557/17/ouyh1g.595x600.IMG_3955.JPG] [attach=3557/17/ouyh1h.572x600.IMG_3956.JPG]
