Rashes on cheeks
My 4 month old baby has red colored rashes on his both the cheeks. It is rough to touch. Rashes are there on his cheeks since birth. Sometimes, they disappear but suddenly reappear causing roughness and redness on his both the cheeks. Initially 1.25 months, I used gram flour and milk for his bath but post that we bathe him with water only. We don't apply anything on his face. At times, it also feels that he has little itching on these rashes. Please suggest how this can be cured.

Dear parents        Rashes on cheeks in newborns babies are very frequent.       Generally babies are given oil massages than a hot water sponging or bath,but face is spared as baby is crying.        Oil attract dust,dust cover glands,infection&inflammation do occur result is rashes       Do wash the face with soft soap       If any pus use antibiotic ointment after checking on back of palm of baby
