my son has had this skin irritation just under his bottom lip. He 1st had it when he was sick with the cold. We thought it could have been his teeth. At night he's woken up by it and touches his bottom lip with his fingers pulling it out in the process...not exactly tugging at it, but just pushing it. It's almost become a habit now. Then he rubs the left side of his mouth with the back of his hand because it's itchy. This causes a red patch on the right side of his mouth. You can kind of see it on the picture above with him and riley.
We have tried different creams recommended by our Doctor and even had a 2nd opinion with other creams. Tried putting vaseline on it. It's very upsetting because it goes away and we think hooray it's cleared up. Then a couple of weeks later it's back.
Last night it happened again. I've tried googling it but because it could be a number of things there's no other solution apart from what we're doing already. I held him in my arms last night and I couldn't stop crying to see him so disturbed because he was so tired but kept trying to press him lip with his fingers. Then the scratching started.
It could be teething, drooling, an allergy, overheating....all of the above!
I have prayed about it. But the LORD hasn't taken it away yet. And I'm still no clearer as to what it is. So going to take him to the doctor again. I'm worried it's going to leave a scar because it's been happening on and off for months now.
Need to be observant about it. So i can narrow down when it happens. It's always when he's asleep that it irritates him. My poor son.

Skin affected by atopic dermatitis becomes extremely itchy and inflamed. It may look red, swollen, and cracked. In some cases, the skin can also weep and crust. Liquid that oozes out of such crusts is often not infected; what comes out is the body's normal tissue fluid. Treatment specific for eczema is helpful, not antibiotics.
