Teething Rash?

Jon Motley - posted on 09/17/2012

This is due to the available calcium being pulled into the developing teeth. Try adding barley water to the babies feeding. That is pearl barley soaked in water overnight in the fridge. drain and put in baby bottle. Apple cider vinegar diluted in water dabbed on the effected areas may help with the itching. Usually disappears when the teeth come in. MILK, other than breast milk, IS NOT A GOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUM! Mothers who are nursing need to be supplementing with CALCIUM LACTATE, as developing children need adequate amounts of calcium for proper growth to occur. Dr. Jon Motley D.C.

my daughter has had her rashes on and off for the past month or longer. she has her 2 bottom teeth she is 8 months now. took her to the doctor's one time and doctor said she's always going to have it because of contact dermatitis and that it was her saliva that's causing the rash. it is sometimes watery and we would use mupirocin which would dry it up then she would scratch or drool more then it goes bad again. it's kind of like never ending.

My 8 month old has the same thing. She has really sensitive skin too. I feel bad but it doesnt seem to bother her much. She is getting her two bottom teeth in, rash started when the second one came in.

Some children develop skin rashes simply because their immune system is busy dealing with their teething. A teething rash is a normal 'side effect' but if it doesn't start to get better, gets worse or you are worried then I would take her to the dr or even get a free opinion from your local pharmacist.

My daughter recently got a small rash on her neck. We took dr advice & put moisturiser on it but it slowly spread to form a wide band like a collar around her neck. I was a childcare worker before I had my daughter & remembered they used to use cornflour for baby skin irritations. I bought a plastic shaker bottle & filled it with the cornflour. I sprinkled this on & gently rubbed it in her neck at every nappy change. Within a couple of days the rash had cleared up but I still use on on her bottom when she gets nappy rash - it works so much better than creams & is natural.

Could be what you are washing the clothes in,food they ate, something they breathed in from the air, or just a teething rash. They can develop an allergic reaction to something they have been using for months over night. We always used Johnson & Johnson wash and a month ago are daughter had an allergic reaction to it. Dr told us to try baby aveno.

My son's "teething rash" occured at the same time his ecema started so I wasn't sure what it was or why it was getting worse. I'd definately get the rash checked out usually teething rashes are on the cheeks(bum and or face) his rash started on his cheeks but it spread all over his neck ears face arms, next thing I knew it was all over. better safe then sorry I'd get it looked at just in case its an allergy or something.

it may be an alergy to a new food you may have just introduced? i would give more baths and let your baby air out more

i was told by a doctor to put vasaline on it. he said you have to be very careful with baby skin because it is so sensative. i put it on my daughter (she just turned 7 months old today) a week ago and it pretty much cleared it up practically over nite..i know it's scary. believe me i JUST went thru that. Good luck..hope it works! :)

My son just had hives.  He's getting back teeth, but not sure if one has to do with the other.  His Dr. said it could be from a virus he picked up, food, medicine, lots of things.  Or we not ever know.  She told me to give him Benedryl.  It's gotten a lot better, but hasn't gone away completely.  He also developed like an acne looking rash on his legs when he started to crawl.  That was because we had Stanley Steemer clean the carpet to our house when we bought it and it was a reaction to something they used.

Pretty common to get a teething rash... sort of patchy and like ecema.  Try a little dose of benedryl
