Neck rash

Anyone having the same issue? He is a chubby baby so I make sure to wash good in there every bath but he started getting these 3-4 days ago and they haven’t gone away. I’m ringing the dr but just wondering if anyone had a similar issue and is resolved now :)

My daughter gets a similar looking a lot on her cheeks from drooling so much. It goes away with a thick all purpose ointment (I use the Burt’s bees and it works well).

Be careful of yeast infection, and kiddos can weirdly be allergic to their own saliva 😅

I would recommend keeping it clean after feeding, applying some ointment/cream to help clear it up if it doesn't go away on its own, and maybe consider bandanas/bibs to help soak up the extra drool

Oh and if after wiping it gets worse try water wipes or a wet cloth no soap, if it still is worse then it might be eczema.

Definitely still see the doc if it doesn't improve

Hi my daughter has similar did you find out what it was? How did you treat it in the end?

he has mild eczema! So he actually developed a rash on his belly after this post. We treat it by moisturizing him 3-5 times a day and hydrocortisone 1% for the itchiness. The neck I do believe was from drool. We put hydrocortisone there and it went away within a day. We just make sure to keep it dry with bibs.
