: Just wash it with soap and water and observe for any sign of redness or any other symptom, otherwise don't worry, try to keep all medicines, cosmetics out of your 2 old's reach, wish you all well

A thorough bath will help, followed by being patted dry. Take a look at the skin in the area and look for redness, bumps or scratches that might suggest an irritation or dermatitis.
