For those who had seen Milan's pictures in my facebook, you might have noticed that she has a red spot on her right cheek. At first, we thought it was due to her saliva since she was teething. Then, we thought it gets worsen because she was still sucking on her pacifier. So, we went to the pharmacy and was prescribed with Bepanthen cream. It was gone and then it came back again. And this time, the cream doesn't work.
Now, she has stopped drooling and off pacifier, the red spot is still there. In fact, it looked like it is itchy. Sometimes, i noticed Milan scratches her cheek. I applied the Bepanthen cream until one day i saw there is another spot coming out under her right chin! Then, a few days later two more appeared on her left cheek. And her thighs and arms feel dry and rough and itchy too. This time, we took Milan to her paed in AMH (American Mission Hospital). The paed told us that she has skin irritations due to the dry and cold weather.
She was prescribed with these:
GV lotion, Oilatum soap and Elocom liquid. Only bathe once a day with the soap, within 2 minutes step out of the bath, apply the lotion and elocom. Elocom has steroid in it, so have to be careful, only once a day. GV has to be applied 3 times a day. So far, the irritations look better. Only when it is too cold, it will become reddish again. The doc even told us to expect the irritations will return after sometime. Maybe, i will keep on applying the lotion and use the soap until summer. But, it is hard to tell as the weather here is quite extreme. Too cold during the winter and too hot during the summer.
Tips on applying lotion (as per Dr Liezl): wet your hands before applying lotion.

Carol, have you tried Angel Baby Bottom Balm? It works wonders on IY everytime he's got diaper rash and gigit nyamuk.Not sure if you can get it there, but kita pun selalu beli online je kat Lil Caliph coz kat kedai susah sgt nk cari. Let me know if you need help, I can always buy here and mail it to u there. No worries.
Pu3, i'll try to find it here. But, so far she is doing fine. For diaper rash, i'm still using Bepanthen nappy rash cream tu. Only this rash on the face tu yang kejap datang, kejap hilang :)
