Not a Milk Moustache



Audrey seems to have a permanent red, dry skin section above her lip. We've tried everything to help it heal. I think it comes from her saliva. Then when she has a binky in, that area doesn't dry out. So our latest remedy has been to put some vaseline on it and then on top of that some zinc oxide. I think zinc oxide is normally used for lifeguards' noses, but it seems to work o.k. The only thing is that she ends up with this white moustache. It is hilarious!

That's very cute!

We are always dealing with rashes and eczema around here. Have you tried aquaphor?

I'm with Cathy. Burn the binky and the thumb.
Cathy could probably help with the amputation.
