Some 3 weeks ago, Natey’s super smooth baby cheeks were spotted with a multitude of “colourless” bumps. Then overnight they became inflamed and multiplied 10 folds because of his constant rubbing whenever he is sleepy.

So 2 Tuesdays ago, I sent out an SOS via Twitter & FB and these were the successful remedies recommended:

1) Medicine — Say No to drugs please!

2) Hazeline Snow — My Mom used it on us and it worked. But why am I skeptical?

3) Vaseline — Mandy used it on Megan and it worked

4) Aloe Vera Gel — Joanne used it on herself and it worked, though not for milk rash lah

5) Baby’s own Pee — Felicia used it on her 2 princesses and it worked. No kidding!

6) Elomet — That’s a drug. So I’m saying No thanks

Out of the 6 above, I only tried Option 2 and 3. Thank you to the rest for sharing their remedies.

Do you have a remedy that works too but not listed in those 6? If you don’t mind sharing, drop a comment below and my reviews are as follows

Vaseline, 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly

My Verdict:
I used this on Natey first because the bumps were so near his mouth. I reckon it would be safer if accidentally consumed.

Within 2 days, the redness subsided. I continued applying whenever it dried off for a week. The redness didn’t return but the bumps were just as many

After seeing no improvement I moved on to the next remedy, but not Hazeline Snow the brand per se. It is the original product itself by The House of Kwong Sang Hong Ltd.

Living Rose Cream by Two Girls, Est 1898

My Verdict:
I applied this on Natey last Thursday. On the very next day — like a miracle wonder — 80% of the bumps were gone! And his smooth baby face was visible again *alleluia*

I must admit I was a bit more than doubtful, but how can I when the product has more than a century of testimonies. All I can say is, it works for Natey and I am grateful! *phew*

I’m not sure if this is sold in Malaysia since my sister bought it in Hong Kong. And if Living Rose is better than Hazeline Snow. Once we’ve tried it, I’ll let you know

As of now, Natey is all clear and back to his baby smooth cheeky self!

I wonder if I jinxed the recovery because the red bumps are back — spread across Natey’s cheeks, forehead, neck and back

Surely those can’t be milk rash? But heat rash…
