My one year old baby has pimples around the mouth, seem to increase with cold and saliva. What can I apply?

Hello,

In order to answer your question, I need to validate some elements.

Have you noticed if the area around the mouth is red?

Does he tend to rub his mouth excessively?

It reminds me of Candida Albicans type fungi. This type of lesion often has redness with small pimples inside

The treatment is very simple. In fact, applying a clotrimazole 1% cream (Canesten) twice a day for 10 to 14 days should get rid of it.

You could also sponge his mouth regularly with a dry cloth to reduce the humidity level. In winter, this is a fairly common problem. The cold and dry weather dries out the mucous membrane, which reacts by getting wet (thus increasing the risk of developing fungal infections). We also see this in older children, who spread the fungus by rubbing their mouths with their mitts.

I hope this answers your question, if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate.

It's a pleasure!
