My baby is 2mths old, recently last 2 weeks, she developed red rashes which is rough and dry on her cheeks as well. I brought her to the PD last week and PD said that she has sensitive skin and he prescribe medication for her and she is recovering.

Milk rash is often due to proteins in milk that trigger an allergy.
If your baby is breastfed, you have to remove dairy and soy protein from your diet.
The following are some of the foods that may contain dairy or soy protein:

Mummies,
When Inez was 3 weeks old, she has very bad rashes on her cheek. Some ppl said is milk rash, some said is heat rash. I brought her to GP but becoz she's only 3 wks old, the GP doesn't wanna give any medicated cream for her and just told me to use cool boiled water to wipe her face after every milk feed.
That time I was so desperate for her to get recover soon coz it's gonna be her Baby Shower day in few days time. I bought few types of organic face cream, caladula face cream and even resorted to boiled Jin Ying Hua tea leave to wipe her face and oso bought Pearl powder to feed and rub on her face too! But, non of them works...
More ridiculous is tat, my neighbour ask me to use her own urine to wipe her face!! Guess some mummies might heard this method b4 but pls dun try.. Is so unhygienic.. Of coz i didn't try it on Inez!
Ended up I still have to bring her to e PD.. and was given this 'Canesten HC' cream to apply thinly on e rash. By e next day, e rashes recover alot. ( tat show how strong e med is). After w rashes gone within 3 days, her face started to turn rough, tight and dry. When I brought her to KK for check up, her PD gave me this 'QV Cream for Repair Dry Skin' trial size and I find this cream is super!! Aft few times of applied, her face start to smooth back and no longer feel tight and dry.
The Canesten HC cream I saw it at Watson phamacy b4 and for e QV cream, try to ask trial size from yr doc to try it 1st to c if it works on yr babies b4 buying it as it comes in a big size and is quite costly...

Ben was prescribed by my pd Fungicort to apply on his cheeks when he was about 3 months. It works wonders, 24 hrs immediate effect. But I was concern that the medication might be too strong for his delicate skin so I normally apply only when he sleeps so he won't eat it once he rubs his face and apply VERY thinly. I used it for 2 nights and all gone. Ultimately, it's still keeping his face clean from his salivation and clean after milk is still the best to keep rash at bay. So clean his cheeks often with boiled cool water gently as often as possible.
i ever brought him for his jab last month and also check on his rash to confirm is it milk rash, doc said it is milk rash and advice me to use cool boiled water to clean it but i dun see it is recovering frm it. By the way, the rash even extend to his neck area and little bit ard his left and right cheek right below his eyes area..
