Just a little update... I used the hydrocortisone cream for three days but William's cheeks just got redder, so I stopped that.
However I have also stopped using wipes on his face and have seen a dramatic improvement, so hopefully I have found the answer.
I even looked at him yesterday and wondered if he was ill as he looked a bit pale LOL silly me ;D ;D

Erin looks JUST like your daughter....cheeks are so red....and hot to the touch....lotion/vaseline usually does the trick.....I never thought of milk allergy.....she eats cheese like it is going out of style....so I'm doubting she is allergic...never had any symptoms of anything amiss

Sam gets the same red cheeks in the winter time BAD! and this season I tried something different on bath night I put vasoline on him (whole body) before I dried him off and it pulls the moisture into his skin which is amazing. When he cheeks started to look dry I tried A&D on them (put it on at bedtime) He has the most wonderful skin right now, its alot of work but I have really dry skin and its so itchy so I definitely know he feels better and he completely loves lotion even put it on himself Jess

Finally got my daughter into a dermatologist. She recommended using some type of moisturizer each night before bed, which most of us do, and prescribed an antibiotic ointment. She diagnosed my daughter with rosacea, which occurs mainly around the mouth and chin...looks like little pimples. She said that acid foods like citrus and tomato products will make it worse. On my daughter, it usually occurs with the red cheeks, but doesn't go away. She's going to keep on top of the rashes, so we'll see how it goes.
