I understand not having money for a doctor. When I had a major flare up years ago the derm had me get Domeboro. It is a solution that you dissolve in water and apply with cotton pads to your face. He then had me apply cortisone cream but before I went that route I would get some Eucerin Calming Relief Lotion and apply that. It doesn't hurt to put a drop of argon or rho in with the cream. I use this recipe when I burn my skin from retin-a. Also the Domeboro is good for any kind of rash and bug bites. I always make sure I have some on hand and I've used it for over 20 years. The derm also had me use the yellow bar of Neutrogena since it is very basic and non-irritating. Most DS's sell the Domeboro, it is OTC but you may have to ask for it at the pharmacy. Walgreen online does have it also.

Is this gentle enough to use on a baby's facial cheeks by any chance? My GS's cheeks are soooo red & inflamed. They've been like this for awhile. Poor little chap!

Harpa--when my daughter was just born (1982) she had such red chapped cheeks in the hospital, that I opened a capsule of vit E and put it on her skin. Did the trick. It's thick so warm it up under warm water to soften the oil inside before you pierce it.
