How to Recognize and Treat a Drooling Rash

  • By Dr. Tanya
  • In Infants (4 to 12 months), Medical Information

  • A drooling rash is just a skin irritation from the constant wetness of drool on an infant’s sensitive skin.
  • I recommend a thin layer of aquaphor or petroleum jelly on the skin area.
  • Generally aquaphor or petroleum jelly will help the rash resolve and may prevent future rashes.
  • If the rash persists, isn’t improving with ointment or cream, or is bothering your baby, see your pediatrician.
  • Rarely a secondary infection may occur and your pediatrician can prescribe a special cream if needed to clear up the rash.
