What problems do children have with excessive saliva?

Patient's question:

A child who is 9 months old has started to think it's drool on their chest. It's winter now, and they wear clothes, but it was like this in the summer too. It hasn't gotten better yet. I want to ask an expert, what is this problem?

Doctor's answer:

This picture looks like it could be either an allergic reaction or eczema. Use povidone-iodine to wipe off the debris on it, and do it many times a day. If there's no improvement after three days, you can apply some topical medications like Eczema Cream or Likang Liquid. Try to avoid scratching as much as possible to prevent bacterial infection.
The above advice is for the question "A 9-month-old child, who has started to think it's drool on the chest." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
