Rash or teething

Hey guys, does anyone know what this could be on my little ones cheek. It has just appeared like this, she’s had something similar during the week but very mild (I’ll see if I can find a picture and post in the comments) She’s 16 weeks and I think she is teething as I feel like I can see some on the bottom, and she constantly wants to be sucking on her fingers or toys but first time mum here I’m not so sure. Thanks x

Red cheeks happen from teething, especially if she’s sucking her fingers too! My boy has the red cheek and is chewing/sucking fingers, rubbing his face a lot and dribbling constantly

@Chloe this sounds so much like my girl, sucking anything she can get in her mouth but just recently starting chomping down in them which she’s not done before. I think I was just worried it just randomly came up so red and big, like an hour ago it wasn’t like that.x

My boys never got red cheeks or anything when teething. It almost looks like it’s been cold and windy outside my boys cheeks did that if they was outside when it was cold and windy and got wind chapped

If it's not teething it could be from laying on something/ someone where the material or clothes haven't been washed with a non-bio powder. I noticed my LO was getting this a lot so I switched mine to a non-bio the same as him and it stopped xx

It looks a bit raised like it could possibly be slapped cheek syndrome. Has she got any other symptoms? https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/slapped-cheek-syndrome/
