My baby is salivating a lot because of his teeth and now he has a small patch of pimples on his chin that won't go away. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,
This is often because your child's saliva irritates the skin near the mouth and causes redness (inflammation).
Have you tried putting a cream on the redness yet? Also how old is your baby?

cortisone
polysporin
canesten
noritate
fucidin

Wow 😊 You've tried some. It's amazing that the redness is still there.
Have these creams always been tried for at least 5-7 days? Did you use them all at the same time?
The cortisone cream was also successful in reducing the redness somewhat, no?

Cortisone longer than others and not so much improvement... To date taro-munipucin is the best but after about 5 days decrease but not disappearance....? I continue?

Thank you for these details.
Yes, complete 10 days of treatment with Mupirocin (Bactroban™), 3 times a day, and then let's see.
If the redness is still there, then we'll think about going to see a doctor.
Good weekend,
