Yes, we went out to look for a rash cream for Mia's cheeks. Most creams were not suited for her because we're so afraid that she'd rub the cream with her hand and then put her hand in her mouth.

We were recommended this ointment though which is sort of a wonder-ointment for cuts and wounds.

Here's a description of the ointment taken from www.littlewhiz.com :

So, I applied the ointment on Mia after she fell asleep. Although this ointment is said to be safe for her, I still didn't want her to rub on her cheeks and then put her hand in her mouth.

Hello shiny cheeks! Let's hope this ointment helps to cure her rashes.
