My 5yr old daughter has been getting rashes on her upper lip after drinking Gatorade and some other Fruit Juices. This morning she took one drink out of a plastic bottle of Minute Maid "Original" Orange Juice and a rash formed on her upper lip. A few days after she was born, she was covered with eczema, but after a few weeks, we had it under control and didn't have any further problems with her skin. She usually drinks water or juice, and very rarely has a bit of soda with dinner (usually at a restaurant). As with most kids, when drinking out of a bottle with a large opening, they tend to get some excess liquid on their upper lip, so I'm always trying to pay attention to her so that she wipes her mouth after every drink (along with trying to teach her the proper way to drink from those containers 8^) ). I was wondering if there was a common ingredient in these beverages that causes this type of rash, so that we can avoid them in the future. Also, what's the best remedy to use for healing this type of rash? Calamine? They usually go away in a few days, and do not itch or burn her or cause her any kind of discomfort.
Thanks,
