What can i do about drool rash?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Aquaphor or Vasoline: Drool rash is very common in children. It may worsen during teething (when your baby tends to drool more) or during feeding. Typically using a barrier lotion/cream such as aquaphor or vasoline will protect the skin from the drool and the irritation will decrease. If your baby's rash begins to look more yellow and crusty see a pediatrician as your baby may have developed a secondary infection.

Bibs+Cortisone cream: Since you can't stop a baby from drooling, keeping the skin dry with frequent bib changes is the best prevention. The rash is a form of contact dermatitis and can be safely and easily treated with twice a day cortisone cream for 1 week. If this does not help, please have the rash checked by your pediatrician.
