Question

My child is 9 months old and I’ve noticed saliva dripping onto their chest. It’s winter now, and since they were younger, there have been issues that haven’t completely resolved. I’m wondering if this is a skin problem. Can you help identify what it might be?

Answer

Based on the image, it appears to be either an allergic reaction or a form of eczema affecting the skin. You can use iodine to wipe away the debris. Do this several times a day. If there’s no improvement after three days, consider applying some topical creams like Pimafucin or Dermol. Try not to scratch, as this can lead to bacterial infection. The above advice is for the issue of “saliva dripping onto the chest of a 9-month-old child,” and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
