I prefer not, just apply vaseline on the rash when it appears.

The rash is most likely due to eczema, contact dermatitis or local irritation. A food panel allergy blood test when starting solids may be helpful, particularly if there are allergic family members. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Watch for signs of wheezing and GI upset.
