Rash on Baby Cheek for almost 4 months?!

Question

8 month old bub had this rash on lower cheek near his mouth since October last year. It’s severity varies - light pink some days, dark red and bumpy on other days. I’ve tried the following with little or no success. 
- Vaseline 
- Coconut oil, jojoba oil
- Aveeno Baby Eczema Cream
- Q.V. baby lotion
- Sudocrem 
- Hydrocortisone steroid cream (prescribed)
- Saline rinses
- Betadine antiseptic ointment (for when he scratches it)
Is there anyone out there who can tell me of the cause if known and remedies that have helped?? Is it normal to have had this for months?? My doctor seems to think so but it’s just not getting better at all! 😐

Answer

Here’s a better picture of his eczema close up. He’s 7.5mo old now and the dr said he should grow out of it. They’re too cute to have red faces but it is what it is 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Eczema! My son has the same exact rash on both his chunky cheeks. He’s had it since about 2 months. We use 1% hydrocortisone once a week, a bath every night, and eucerin eczema lotion in between all of that. Dr said winter is the worst time for it because of how dry it gets hope this helps.

Answer

I find that red rashes on my daughter's skin are from allergies. She developed a small eczema patch on her neck and below her mouth and I finally stopped giving her her vitamin d drops and it cleared up within 2 days. The vitamin d drops she was taking were made from lanolin (sheep) and she has a wool sensitivity. I figured it out because I also have a wool allergy. Maybe try thinking about what was new in his diet or skin care right before it showed up. Good luck and I hope you get to the bottom of it!
