My 21-month-old son developed redness on his lower lip, clearly due to excess saliva and the rubbing of his pacifier. What should I do?

In this situation, it is best to protect the skin on the lower lip and chin with a barrier cream like "Vaseline". Apply it 3 to 5 times a day until the skin is no longer sensitive. This usually resolves the issue in less than 7 days.
