Drool eczema ointment

Babies often drool and are prone to drool rash. Drool rash can be treated with ointment, but because it needs to be applied on the edge of the mouth, the baby may get it in the mouth when eating, which may affect the baby's health. Therefore, it is critical to choose the ointment carefully.

The difference between drool rash and eczema The symptoms of drool rash are very similar to those of general eczema. If the baby's skin is not moisturized enough, it will become dry, itchy, red and swollen, and small blisters will appear. After scratching, tissue fluid will flow out, which may cause bacterial infection. Therefore, to distinguish whether the baby is inflamed due to drool rash or eczema, the biggest difference lies in the different sites of inflammation. The main areas that cause drool rash are concentrated in places where the baby is easily stained with saliva, such as around the mouth or chin, where the inflammation will be most obvious.

But it should be noted that in addition to drool rash, there are other reasons that can cause a red patch on the baby's mouth. The drool rash caused by saliva will appear as a red and flat area around the mouth or chin. Another reason for a similar condition is that the baby holds a pacifier for a long time, and the sucking of the pacifier rubs against the skin around the mouth, especially for babies who frequently use pacifiers. Some of them hold the pacifier for a very long time. If parents observe that the baby does not drool often, but there is still a red and flat area on the mouth, it may be caused by long-term sucking on the pacifier.

In addition, Candida infection can also cause redness around the mouth, but the difference is that there will be about 5 or 6 small raised red rashes. Candida is a type of fungus that exists in the air. Because some babies have weak skin resistance in certain parts of their skin, they are easily infected and cause rashes.
