A. Warm water is usually all you need.” Make sure your baby's skin is completely dry, then apply a healing ointment, such as Aquaphor. This will help soothe the irritation and act as a barrier between the baby's drool and their skin, so the rash has a chance to heal.Avoid clothing or blankets around the neck when baby is indoors. Avoid dressing your baby in rough fabrics or tight clothing. Remove clothing and let your baby's neck and chest air out in a warm, dry area after being bundled up. Wash your baby's neck with a sterile washcloth and warm, soapy water.Coconut oil has anti-microbial properties, which makes it an excellent home remedy to treat neck rashes in babies. Applying coconut oil on the neck rash can help decrease inflammation and itchiness.Sprinkling baby talcum powder, particularly in the skin folds, after bathing the baby can help prevent rashes and control the growth of existing ones.It is desirable to use a fragrance-free, mild baby wash to clean the baby’s neck properly, using gentle strokes so that the skin is not irritated further. Gently pat the neck dry after washing, with a soft cotton towel, instead of rubbing the area. Also, air-dry the skin folds in the neck, so that it is completely dry and devoid of any moisture. After washing, you may apply a gentle moisturiser or skin ointment on the baby’s neck, in order to soothe the skin. https://parenting.firstcry.com/articles/neck-rash-in-babies-causes-signs-and-treatment/
