POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If one side of your baby's cheek is rough with reddish patches that look like radish skin, it could be due to dry skin, drool rash, eczema, or even a mild allergic reaction. Babies often get such patches from frequent drooling, cold weather, or sensitivity to certain fabrics, soaps, or foods.
Here’s what you can do:
Keep the area clean and dry. Apply a gentle baby moisturizer or coconut oil 2–3 times a day. Avoid using any harsh soap or wipes on the face. Dress your baby in soft cotton clothes. If the redness spreads, becomes crusty, or seems itchy, it’s best to see a pediatrician or dermatologist for proper treatment.
Keep an eye out for any triggers like new foods, lotions, or detergents too.
