When should I be concerned about my toddler's rash?

My toddler has a rash on his face. How can I treat it?

Rashes can have many causes. Chapping of the skin commonly occurs in winter months from cold weather. If the toddler is teething, the saliva can result in red raw areas around the mouth. Applying Vaseline to the face will help both conditions. I recommend unscented soaps and moisturizers for all infants and toddlers
