Very sore skin in rolls of neck

The best remedy is baby oil. Simply put a little bit of baby oil on the cotton wool, and wipe every crease that your baby has on the chin, legs etc after each bath and I'm sure the problem will disappear. My midwife recommended this method and it really works.:-)

my mother taught me to always put lotion on all the creases after every bath. always wipe her down after a feeding

Thanks everyone for your help. I kept it clean and as dry as possible and used the paw paw treatment for a couple of days (so kind of like putting Vaseline on it). It kept it under control but didn't clear it up. I then tried Bepanthen (nappy rash cream) as that has always cleared up any nappy rash in a matter of hours. Bingo!! Within 24 hours it had healed completely and all the redness has gone. I'm now very conscious of making sure it's clean and dry so that it doesn't recur.

My son has this problem. I have to clean and dry many times a day for this to heal. Good luck.

my first daughter had that problem really bad n the only thing that cleared it up was keepihng it clean n putting vaseline on it. do NOT put baby powder on it! it will only make it worse

Make sure you are using a thick bup rag tucked tight under her chin at evry feeding.My son has neck rolls and I am a clean freak about it, I use a thick towel under his chin at every feeding and give him a bath every night. he hasnt had a problem since I started doing this.

I think you're on the right track. Make sure to clean between all the creases very well, then make sure it is well dried so as not to keep the moisture locked in. Then the best thing would be to air dry it...but it's almost impossible to get a baby to keep their head back. If it does not clear up you should get it checked out by a doctor as it could possible be a yeast or fungal infection as well. Good luck, hope it clears up soon!
