Sorry your little one is having diaper rash. My first daughter got diaper rash when I tried being fancy and bought her Huggies Supreme. I realized she was allergic to it and I switched her to LUVS. I've always used this powder call Caldesene, its in a pink bottle and you can find it in any CVS or Walgreens. It is so good it formulated to keep moisture away from their skin. You can use it on prickly heat too.
i broke out into a terrible rash on my belly around like 26 weeks and went to my dr and they said it was like diaper rash just from the heat and my maternity pants covering up that skin so it can't breath. he suggested desitin or some kind of baby diaper rash cream. you should definitely talk to your dr though because it can be PUPPP, google it it looks miserable I was terrified I had it, luckily i didn't!

I think he has something that is common, its like an infection. They are not like normal pimples or even puss, but they can often cause pain and scar. Take him to a doctor to get some special ointment.
Is it possible that a heat rash might be more likely?
Pampers leak less than huggies, but if you have access to Organix where you are, that is the best way to go.
Could just be a regular diaper rash, butif it's not going away it could be a yeast diaper rash. If regular diaper cream doesn't clear it up within a few days, talk to his doctor. You may need a special topical cream (possibly Nystatin cream) if it's a yeast diaper rash. You could try a little cornstarch to keep his bum dry and change his diaper often. Also, keep it clean and give it some time to air dry too.
Oh abd im always changing his diaper lol they say if u dont let ur baby sit in his pee itll be easier yo potty train them cuz they wont like sitting in a wet diaper or undies.
SOmething that has occurred in the past in hot weather (heat rash) I was told by PCP to put talc on it and it helped somewhat. The rash sort of disappeared by was still visible. The last few weeks it has reared its ugly head again with a vengence. I had a 2 week course of antibiotic analox due to bronchitis. On the 13th day of taking this med, my rash came out in full bloom only worse than ever.
I am terrified that I may have infected my daughter with herpes when she was sitting on my lap. She was wearing just a diaper and I was wearing boxer briefs. Now she has a rash on her chest, back, diaper area, thighs, behind her knees, inner elbows. I don't know for sure if I have herpes but think I might. Is it possible to infect someone this way?
It usually starts out on one arm pit, the a few days later I get it on the other one. When I use the diaper rash cream, or the diaper rash cream mixed with a little of the cortasone cream, it starts to get better. I reached a point in the last few days where the burn (rash) had finally disappeared and all that was there was the thin scab (about three inches length wise).
