Red rashes all over face

My baby boy has a habit of rubbing his face all the time. I believe because of it he has developed red rashes all over his face not sure if he has a skin problem which is why he is rubbing his face all the time or if it is something that he does to soothe himself.

Does anyone have the same issue? Can you help me how you have coped with it.

Thanks

It could be a number of things but it’s common for eczema to start on the face and it’s itchy which would explain the rubbing. I’d make a GP appointment and also take some photos. To relieve it in the meantime try a neutral emollient/moisturiser - we use Cetraban but you could try something like aveeno - something with no fragrance.

You’ll need to apply it 4+ times a day to make a difference
