Hello, my daughter has red patches around her mouth. She had hand-to-mouth foot 4-5 months ago and it seems that it is since that time that small patches appear Sometimes it gets redder and sometimes less, but it always stays that way

Hello ma'am, would it be possible to know the circumstances of appearance? Are you able to upload some well-lit photos? Thanks for the feedback! A fragrance-free moisturizer like Base Glaxal, Cerave, Cutibase or Aveeno among others, can be applied as often as needed, even on the face Don't let her wash her face with soap, water and a clean washcloth are sufficient. Avoid rubbing too vigorously to dry, rather lightly pat and apply moisturizer after. Always protect the skin from the sun with a sunscreen Co.portsnt a GPS of at least 30. If the situation persists for more than 2 weeks or worsens, or this redness appears elsewhere, I recommend to consult a doctor, by pure precaution. I am available if you have any other questions!
