Avatar f tn When my daughter had a really bad diaper rash while she was in the hospital (for a respiratory problem) the nurses mixed up a cream for her that took care of it in one day corn starch mallox petroleum jelly balmex mix together and it makes a nice cream that works really well, I still use it today if my girls get a red booty
Avatar f tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination,but it can be folliculitis,seat dermatitis,heat rash,diaper rash,contact dermatitis or psoriasis.Looking at the age of the child,diaper or heat rash is a possibility. Allow your son to wear cotton undergarments and keep the buttocks clean and hygienic.Also after washing the area with water,pat dry the buttocks.Pls do not apply any cream on the byttocks as it will leda to further clogging of pores.You can however apply a light dusting powder.
Avatar n tn The rash came back, also in his legs (like spreading) Everytime he has the rash (looks like pimples 5-6 at the time in the pelvic area and his penis very swallen and red) The rash came back for the 3rd time and the doctor said that was yeast, now he was prescribed nystatin, got better.
Avatar f tn My friend puts Vaseline on her baby and she's only had one diaper rash and she's almost 2 now. It will keep the diaper from rubber her too. Maybe switch to non scented diapers and wipes and maybe use the corn starch. I'm sorry your having to go through this with your little one.! I hope it gets better.!
432737 tn?1358549432 t use it in case it is a yeast infection and not diaper rash but I knew it was diaper rash because if the diarrhea. DH and I stopped using all wipes and decided that at every diaper change we would run him under the sink sprayer. Boy did he like that better. And, we'd let it dry for a couple minutes and powder with corn starch...no paste, nothing else. Well, Jack had diarrhea through the night at midnight, 1 and 2 a.m. We groggily rinsed him every time and powdered with starch.
432737 tn?1358549432 -( How long has he been on antibiotics? Medina hat a bad diaper rash when she was on I.V. antibiotics but I used Weleda diaper rash cream and it healed pretty well. Maybe give that a go, calendula is rather soothing.
Avatar f tn t let her sit in it too to long. Pat dry her bottom and put the diaper rash cream on every diaper change. Make sure you keep her bottom dry when you change her. I baby sat this baby girl that had the same problem but hers was really really bad she cried non stop never smiled it broke my heart but its because her parents wouldn't change her diaper when she was dirty. Anyways if I'm not mistaken she had to be on antibiotics.
Avatar f tn ve had for 2 months (this is my 3rd antibiotic in the last 2 months) and I have developed a very red rash starting right below the opening of my vagina, the skin beside it(kinda the start of my ver inner butt cheek), all the way up to my anus. The rash is itchy and sore (esp on my anus). It looks like a severe diaper rash. I've seen this type of rash on a friends child who had an external yeast infection. Is this possible that this is what I have?
Avatar f tn The best diaper rash cream for Several moms that I know have been Boudreaux's butt paste. It's a few dollars more expensive than some but it had worked when other brands didn't. But it definitely could be a combination of her diapers & food.
Avatar n tn I just had a new born on 10/13/15...when I change her diaper she has this RED rash on her buns wit a little bit of blood...
Avatar f tn my18 month old daughter has a rash that started off near her diaper area on her upper inner thigh. i tried every diaper rash cream i could think of, every lotion, bag balm, nystatin cream and 1% hydrocortison cream. but none of these seemed to clear up the red bumps. she has had no strep throat, no high fever and has not been exposed to any new detergents, animals, or diapers. concerned, i took her to her pediatrician. he said. welll im not 100% sure what this is. i will give you G.E.T.
Avatar n tn t quite look like your typical diaper rash, then spread up her body and cover her front and back torso, tons around her neck, armpit, upper inner thigh (groin), and starting to creep one or two on her face and down the arm and leg. this is going on 4+ weeks. i started with balmex, desitin first when it was just in the diaper area, now that is over the rest of her body we have tried otc aswell as rx strenth hydrocortizone bactraban oral antibiotics along with antibactrial soaps and nothing!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn 2 brothers had a rash appear (and after swimming in a public pool) it has become severe and after several visits to a couple of different doctors it has been diagnosed as a staph infection. They are currently taking antibiotics for this. However, a skin scraping was not taken. Now, the health dept. and the parents are requesting the test to identify exactly which bacteria it is. Will the results be altered by already having the antibiotics on board?
Avatar f tn My 2year old had a bad diaper rash due to diarrhea and I tried everything. Milk of magnesia worked great. I would pour some in a container soak the cotton balls in the milk of magnesia and rubbed on the rash I also used the burping cloths with warm water to wipe him instead of the baby wipes since it irritates the rash.
4654179 tn?1595183520 My poor baby has suffered on and off with diaper rash. I've changed diaper brands and have been using Destin religiously. Any ideas that could help?
3930380 tn?1357887113 Make sure to keep her clean and dry. Bath her before bed time and use burst bees diaper rash ointment. With my daughter she rarely got diaper rash but when she did it sees nothing would make it go away we literally bought a bottle of every ointment and burst bees was the only thing that would make a difference. Walmart and target have it.
1194973 tn?1385503904 I agree with penswriter- call your dr and take her in to get it checked out. Those rashes can really be uncomfortable and they can write a script that will clear it up within a couple days. My daughter has had a yeast rash and also a bacterial rash both can't be treated with regular over the counter meds and we had to get something from the dr. They see that kind of thing all the time. Good luck.
Avatar f tn My nephew used a and d and desitin and then we tried the butt paste and it got rid of the diaper rash so quick and he never got one again!
Avatar f tn 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.
9182722 tn?1403784024 The Vaseline is a lubricant to help keep his bottom dry to prevent more rash, the fungal/yeast creams help because many times baby will have test contributing to the rash(yes even boys) and the diaper cream helps with the rash too obviously and the cortisone helps with inflammation (don't use too much it's a steroid), I would also add you should call and confirm(quick call should be fine) with his doctor that this will be okay for your baby (I sing know your baby or any medical conditio

938326 tn?1300878804 My little one(10 months) has had a terrible bum rash(scaling, raw and extremely uncomfortable for her) due to diarreah. I am a firm believer in cornstarch until this time when it didnt seem to work. I had gotten a prescription from the dr for canesten. I took it in and the script was going to cost 40 dollars. The pharmacist secretly(without having a problem paying full cost) told me of the same product for 12 dollars.
