My 14 month old girl has little bumps, that look like pimples, around her mouth. The come and go.?

Question

They have been there for over a month now, sometimes they almost disapppear, but now they are back. I've tried to correlate it with certain foods, but I can't find a pattern? They don't seem to bother her at all. Should I worry? Has anyone seen this before?

Answer 1

It could be thrush. Take her to the doctor to make sure. Thrush can be harmful and needs treatment by antibiotics.

Answer 2

Look up info for IMPETIGO. It is a bacterial infection that is common on the face around the mouth. My mom said when I was younger I had it. It cannot be self treated, you need to go see a doc and get a prescription for a topical antibiotics (cream) for it and it will go away.

Answer 3

sounds like a heat rash, but could also be exema, yuse a little aveeno baby lotion. My son has terrible exema and it really helps him, if its a heat rash all you can do is keep her clean and cool, mabey put her in little cotten T shirts or rompers instead of outfits, thats what I do and it really does help. he still gets heat rash but not so bad as when i was keeping him fully dressed.

Answer 4

it could be baby acne...

Answer 5

If she has a pacifier it could be a  rash caused by  the pooling of her saliva behind the pacifier.

Try putting Lansinoh Lanolin cream (comes in a purple tube).  It is made  for breastfeeding mothers (to apply to cracked nipples), but it can do wonders for rashes such as diaper rash and heat rash.

Apply a layer to the area with bumps right before she goes to sleep so she won't be tempted to wipe it off.

Answer 6

they'll go away

if they don't

go to a dermatologist.

Answer 7

I would take her to a Dermatology Specialist for a regular Dr may see not see what really going on.

Eating healthy food would help too. Like stay away from caffeine, greasy food. I'm sure you get the picture.

Good~Luck!
