My 6 month old has been showing signs of teething for quite some time now, but the constant drooling is really irritating the skin under his lip and above his chin. it's all red and looks sore! i keep him in bibs, and dry his face every opportunity i can, but if anybody has any ideas for me i'd sure like to hear them! thanks and have a great day!!

Apply a thin coat of vaseline or chapstick.

I have been having the same problem!! My 6 month old daughter has two teeth on bottom, and one coming in on top. The drooling has been irritating her skin terribly!! It has progressivly gotten better by just trying to keep it clean, I know it is hard, once you wipe their mouth, more is coming out....lol. I just got some huggies sensitive wipes, and I have been using those to keep her clean. Also,Aquaphor, it is a cream for EVERYTHING. Diaper rash ointment, or for other rashes on the body, and for cuts.....Hope this helps!!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL 1/ Never, ever touch your face. 2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day. 3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal 4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal. Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing. 5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again. 6/ Do this for 90 days. 7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days. Source: A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes. The secret is never to touch the spots Tips on how to treat acne and achieve perfect clear skin in as little as 7 days?

Rub a little Aquaphor on his chin every couple of hours. It repels water and heals any dryness or chapping because of the drooling. It really helps.

Vaseline for babies! Use it instead of diaper cream, too!
