 Topic: Any ideas???
Posted: 09 April 2008 at 5:56pm |
For about a week now Ella has had this rash on her cheek. We aren't sure what it is? am thinking either an insert bite or dribble rash. Has anyone got any ideas on what it could be and how we can get rid of it (currently using smoothly naturals fromJ&J)
Thanks

Sounds weird but if you have any pure lanolin nipple cream, try that. Totally safe for bubs - we used it when Harry had a particularly bad rash and it seemed to help

It looks like eczema to me. I use Weleda Eczema Comp. Cream. Works well.

Or if you don't think its eczema try Lucas Paw Paw cream. That seems to clear anything and everything!

I agree with Sparkle, could be a little eczema, and the weleda cream is great.

It's hard to tell from those photos. Daniel gets something like that in the same place when he's been dribbling like crazy from teething and his drool ends up all over his face. We just pop baking soda in the bath and he splashs it all over his face and it seems to help. I just try and keep it cleanish and it clears in a couple of days

Thanks guys. ummm...not sure if it is eczema. Is eczema suppose to be itchy? it doesn't seem to bother her at all....just me looking at it. Might try the welda cream and see if that helps. Wondering if it is worth getting it checked out at the doctors (just so at least I know what it is)????

I was going to say teething rash too, and baking soda is my wonder cure for everything.

I would recommend Lucas' pawpaw cream as it can be used for almost any purpose - eczema, teething rash, insect bites, the whole works. And its good for adults as well.

The othe thing to consider is ring worm. Probably isn't, though they make circluar marks. I would get it checked at the docs anyway, in case it is something fungal. But it does look a lot like an eczema spot to me too.

just took her to the pharmacy and they thought it could have been caused by a change in diet (either hers or mine) and since the only food that she has had new in the past week is Kiwifruit that could have caused it. They didn't seem too worried about it and gave me Daktozin (for fungal infections) so hopefully that does the trick and we are going to avoid Kiwifruit for a while.
Thanks for the advice
