A child who is over four years old has red and dry chin and lips, and often licks their tongue.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mild "milk rash" generally does not require medication and can be left to heal on its own. If the symptoms are severe, anti-allergic drugs such as diphenhydramine and chlorpheniramine can be taken under the guidance of a specialist physician. At the same time, some auxiliary drugs such as vitamin C and calcium powder can be used to reduce sensitivity. The affected area can be treated with Gentian Blue powder or soaked with a 1% saline gauze. If there is an infection in the local area, antibiotics should be used.
