A. Hi Mom, Drool rash can be a common side effect of teething, but many babies drool even when they aren't getting new teeth. To prevent rash, have a soft burp cloth on hand at all times so you can gently wipe away any drool. Keeping your baby's skin clean and dry is the most effective remedy against drool rash. Wipe your baby's face and in the folds of her neck frequently, and especially after feedings. Use gentle pressure in a dabbing motion to avoid irritating your baby's skin. In most cases drool rash is a minor irritation that will go away with regular at home treatment. If the rash is cracked, weepy, or causing your baby pain or if the rash doesn't show any improvement after roughly a week of home treatment you can contact your child doctor to prescribe creams that can help your baby's rash heal faster and reduce the baby's discomfort.
