1151771 tn?1262025120 t see anything again for about 6 months when it started in her private area. Got her home from the daycare one evening and was changing her diaper and I noticed blood on her wipe, her father and I freaked out and immediately called the hospital and spoke with her on call doctor who told us to bring her to the ER right away. We feared for the worst (sexually abused at daycare). Turns out it was a yeast infection.
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.
676912 tn?1332812551 Try aveeno with oatmeal...they make a diaper rash cream for it. it works pretty well on Grey's rashes for his penis.....but if it is yeast like Julia said you'll probably need a script for a yeast cream...Kahlan had a yeast rash at one point and it looked blistery and horrible and the yeast cream went on, stung a little, and 2 hours later it was almost gone. She's had a few yeast rashes since then and the stuff she was prescribed always got rid of it right away.
Avatar f tn bottom line, your child needs to be seen and get the better work up you need done. Anytime herpes is suspected/diagnosed in a child in the genital area, child protection services also is notified. It's in your best interest to get a much better evaluation done of your child. Herpes does not show up in the genital area of children and if this really is herpes going on, you need to get to the bottom of it. Sexual abuse is the way it would get there.

202436 tn?1326474333 Omg girl I am going through the EXACT SAME thing with Grey! He had horrid diarrhea for about 3 days and this horrible diaper rash appeared in a matter of hours...it's bright red splotches that are actually bleeding when they get wiped... it's definitely a yeast rash (he had to go in for his 1 year shots so I went ahead and had them check for his rash as well)...they put him on an anti-fungal cream but I already had some because his sister has had yeast rashes before...
Avatar n tn my son 14 months is having the same thing. horrible diaper rash after poop to the point he kicks cause he doesnt want we to wipe with baby wipes. i went to dr and no parasite. he too, has no fever or vomiting. he did become wuite gassy due to the constant BM's. His stool has these dark colored things in it similar to a blue berry but he is not eating anything like that. this concerns me. and the mucous is very much.
Avatar f tn He took one look and knew it was a type of yeast infection - basically, it starts as slight diaper rash but develops into a larger rash that doesn't respond to typical treatment. She was prescribed econozole - however, many actually get relief from over-the-counter topical creams (apply to the skin where the rash is) for yeast infection. Perhaps your daughter's doctor, pharmacist, or nurse could advise you over the phone if it's worth trying.
Avatar m tn I have put on weight in the last few years and found myself sweating in that area only. What can I do to get rid of this redness soreness.
Avatar f tn i had a herpes breakout genital area i touched so i have to change my toddler pamper but i believe i forget to wash my hands can i give g herpes this way ( also i rubbed diaper rash cream in his butt ) i change it a minute later after i touched i read The virus is fragile and dies when it leaves host cell should i worry ?
Avatar f tn (Diaper bag, mittens, hair care, thermometer, boppy, teething toys, diaper rash creme) and just things that are nice to have. Most people at showers don't buy the big things you've already purchased except family members so you should be okay. Baby showers are fun anyways, for games and such lol.
3062924 tn?1350414109 What kind of Desitin? I have no faith in the creamy because the amount of zinc is low and it doesnt stay on the area. It may be more than a diaper rash if original Desitin didn't clear it up. It could be a yeast infection rash and that usually requires a prescription from the Dr. Best thing to do is change her as soon as you notice she's wet. Use wash clothes to wipe instead of baby wipes.
Avatar n tn Use some diaper rash ointment it has a thicker texture than antibiotic cream and will stay there to relieve the rubbing while walking, unlike anitibiotic cream its properties make it I guess you'd say melt on warmer areas of the body. After all its for rashes or irritations. Hope this works for ya!!!
Avatar n tn Grandpa watched him last weekend, and he was very ill by Tuesday, my son around the same Monday/Tuesday time too.
Avatar f tn I was just doing my 5 year old boys laundry, and noticed two of his underwear have white spots in the area of the penis. One of them was quite large and the other was smaller, they are not circles, but like smears. This may sound gross, I smelled them to see what it was, but because he is 5 and still having accidents, all I could smell was urine. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what this might be? I know its not diaper cream.
Avatar f tn Pampers leak less than huggies, but if you have access to Organix where you are, that is the best way to go.
Avatar f tn My son us 3wks old. I was wondering about diaper rashes. He has a bit of a rash under his scrotum. I'm wondering if this is normal. Its the only area that has gotten red. I do let him dry out a bit after diaper changes and started putting Desitin diaper cream on it. Any suggestions on making it go away? Tia!
1165284 tn?1323455476 It gave him diaper rash which I was able to get rid of with zinc based diaper rash ointment. but now he has a sensitive & red scrotum & inner upper thighs. What should I put on this to ease the pain? I know it is caused by the antibiotic but he is having alot of discomfort. I would like to know the best thing to help him because I don't want to put the wrong thing on him & make it worse. Help please.
Avatar m tn The diaper cream has worked around my anus but the rash seems to have migrated to the area between my scrotum and anus. I've been medicating that area but perhaps the way I'm sitting has caused further issues. Now I have the same kind of rash (almost like a rug burn) on both butt cheeks just outside of the anus area where the rash began. So it would seem like a heat rash, I suppose, but not sure how to treat it.
Avatar n tn I am getting better at calming my fears but this morning she woke up with a red area on her left labia - it looks like a pimple. Most of the diaper rashes she gets are all over and bilateral and very noticeably a diaper rash. This area looks like a pimple or possibly a clogged pore but has not changed since this morning. I am very diligent about washing my hands.
Avatar f tn You can just leave the diaper off for a bit and let the area get some air. You can also just use diaper rash creme as prevention if you want.
Avatar f tn The mental health professional typically has extensive training and experience in this area and could help determine if your son was victimized. Ultimately, he or she would be responsible to notify CPS or the police in the event of suspected abuse so that an investigation begins.
Avatar f tn t actually look at it) he gave me anti fungal cream and the very next day rash went and it cleared up fast.My real question is..could this diaper rash be the acute hiv rash? I had yeast before but never round that far or that bad.. If it was the hiv rash then would it have cleraed up so quickly with the bacteria cream or not? I have had no fever at the same time.Am I being paranoid and has anyone had this kind of vaginal yeast spread that much?
Avatar n tn my son is 3 and still in pullups hes developed like a pink rash or chafing on his penis right below the head what can i do? it hurts him when he takes a bath and i haven't put anything on it because I'm worried about ruining something down there I know I can't put like diaper cream or neosporin on it is there anything else I can use?
Avatar f tn its usually prescribed for severe diaper rashes. (keep in mind this was not on her diaper area.it was *near* her diaper area on her leg.) i applied this cream on my daughter until i noticed that the rash was spreading down her legs only 3 days later. alarmed i took her to an Emergency Room doctor. he told me that it was just exema and to apply a stronger sterriod cream on her. it was triamcinolone acetonide cream 0.025%. this did absolutely nothing for her.
