We still see bits occasionally (after periods of using inhalers more usually) but they seem to go away on their own now that it’s less entrenched. And it’s just a small patch near his mouth not the whole ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2866972 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:21:07 +0000 Mrsbells 2866972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I havent seen a teething rash that goes up into the nose like this. Could it food related? DD used to get rashes arouns her mouth and it was because daycare wasn't wiping her mouth properly after meals. We used cerave wash and their moisturizing cream and it cleared up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2866971 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:19:44 +0000 hilsy85 2866971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: gotcha thanks. I appreciate the honesty! Just frustrating to see her poor little face looking so bad :( but the metro gel DID work at least? As long as I know there’s an end to it I can deal!</p> <p>@nana87: oh nice! Glad it cleared up easily :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2866970 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:17:59 +0000 bhbee 2866970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: honestly (probably not what you want to hear!) it took about 6 weeks and looked worse before it got better. My pedi warned us about that so at least we knew to keep going. We think my sons inhalers probably are a major contributor to this - some sort of steroid rebound since kids get the mist on their face - so that may have made it harder for us, not sure. Good luck, it was not fun to put on that gel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2866969 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:17:38 +0000 nana87 2866969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I totally forgot I posted this! We used/use aquaphor, and stopped using wipes to clean her face when she's messy. She has really sensitive skin--her cheeks chap really easily and it was just a bad combination with drool rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2866964 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 14:10:37 +0000 hilsy85 2866964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: hi! Just came across this post. Wondering how long it took for the PD to go away with metronidazole? My daughter ha sit and we’ve been using the gel for about a week and I’m not seeing huge improvements yet. </p> <p>@nana87: that’s exactly what my daughters face looks like. What did you end up<br /> Doing for it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2809002 Sun, 11 Mar 2018 07:01:03 +0000 nana87 2809002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@starchild: oh Vaseline is a good idea!<br /> @bhbee: oh that does look really similar! One of our dogs has been prescribed metronidazole in the past, haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2808974 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 19:51:31 +0000 gotkimchi 2808974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn’t look exactly like a drool rash but I’m not sure what else it could be </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2808973 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 19:45:47 +0000 bhbee 2808973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am totally forgetting what my pedi called it but my son had a rash like this that continued to worsen overall but would come and go. His pacifier probably worsened it but wasn’t the main cause. It was some sort of mild skin infection. We had to treat it with a gel rx he hated (he had just turned 2) but it did work! The hard part was it really took 6 weeks to get better and looked worse before better. But haven’t seen it since. </p> <p>I wish i could be more specific ... I will google and see if anything rings a bell. Could be something different but maybe worth asking if I think of the name.</p> <p>ETA ok so I think it was perioral dermatitis and we treated it with metronidazole. Trying to attach a pic - it didn’t look really awful (certainly not every day) but definitely wasn’t going away by the time we treated. </p> [attach=4253/18/p5ej54.456x369.B5120047-151A-445A-9BC8-C47B852CE8EC.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2808972 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 19:45:24 +0000 starchild 2808972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about the cause, but we are dealing with an acid rash from reflux. Our ped said to use vaseline on her cheeks because it will be more water resistant for the drool compared to regular lotion, and it has helped tremendously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-rash-or-something-else#post-2808963 Sat, 10 Mar 2018 17:32:08 +0000 nana87 2808963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo2 has had this redness/dry skin around her mouth for awhile now— it kind of comes and goes, sometimes looking like this bad and sometimes pretty much clear. Her dr saw her at her 12 month well baby visit and said it was probably just from teething drool plus chapped skin with the cold, but it looks worse now then it did at that appointment...</p> <p>What do you think? Any similar mouth rashes? She’s a bit congested but otherwise fine </p> [attach=1484/18/p5ebxk.600x450.92ADA6FE-C783-4A4E-9846-96F2F2B08E97.jpeg]
