Can anyone tell me, what's the best thing to put on DS's sore chin?

DS2 is 7 1/2 months and is dribbling for England. As a result his (double) chin is getting sore, and when the skin is dry, it feels quite rough.

Any recommendations on what to put on it. I've used sudocrem today but just wondered if there was anything better I could use.

TIA

I'd say if his skin is not of the sensitive type that vaseline would be fine.

I use Molton brown lipsaver on my DC's who suffer badly from contact allergies. It works well for them

diprobase ointment, from boots. consistency of vaseline. smear a thin layer on before every feed and whenever you feel he needs it.
second time I've recommended it today!

should be on commission.

I thought I was the only one up at this time of night!!!

Thanks for the recommendations, we have vaseline in so I'll use that until I can get to boots.
