Suggest Treatment For Red Rashes On The Cheeks Of A Baby
My 5 month old baby has a bright red spot/ rash about the size of a dime on her cheek. It is flat and has no texture just bright red and only on one side of her face. We have been putting coconut oil on it thinking it was just irritated from drooling/ bib wiping, but it s not getting better.

Hello,
Possibly I think it can be an insect bite. You can use antihistamines such ketotifen drops for it. It will go in 2-3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
