Boils...

Ok, so for the past week, Oni has gotten 2
boils on her butt. I know that they spread
VERY easily, and CAN get out of control.
They start off as TINY little pimples,
then morph into these GINORMOUS boils.
One of my good friends gave me a HUUGE box
of size 6 diapers. And we decided to use
them NOW, as opposed to keeping them until
she fit them.
They were Huggies(the brand she NORMALLY
uses) and fit her REALLY good. Well, we
ran out, and went and bought her size 5's.
The DAY that we put her back in the TIGHT
A S S 5's, she started getting the
bumps/boils.
Also, it seems, that as SOON as she ran
out of her vitamins, these boils appeared
about a week or so later.
Now, I know boils can be caused by a staph
infection, OR an immune deficiency. She's
not running ANY sort of fever, so I'm
thinking staph is NOT the cause.
I'm not one to RUN to the Dr as soon as
something odd comes up. So I'm trying to
figure out how to treat this WITHOUT
medical intervention.
I'm on my way to get her larger diapers,
medicated cream, epsom salts(for frequent
baths-to prevent swelling and encourage it
to come to a head), and vitamins.
If anyone has ANY other treatments, I'm
all ears!!

She's not really to keen on staying still
for things like that.
So I'm hoping 3/4 hot baths with Epsom
Salts will be AS effective as the hot
compresses!!!
Maybe I should move this into the
parenting community chat?! LOL!!

I couldn't believe she was in a 6
either!!! The weight STARTS at 35lbs, and
she's DEF not 35lbs...yet...lol. But her
hips are really wide and 'baby GOT
back!'!! HAHAHAHA!!
When we put her back into the 5's, they
look baby thongs on her!!!! They're SOOOO
small, and they leak alllll the time!!!!
ALthough I'm TOTALLY against it, I googled
'boils in babies'. And tight fitting
diapers were a possible cause.
I've been giving her ibuprofin for the
swelling and pain. The ONLY time they
bother her, is during a diaper change when
I put A&D on it.

Aww, poor girl. I hope they go away. Ethan
wears a size 6 too. He doesn't weigh 35
lbs either. I think they need to change
the weight on those things!

Sometimes googling freaks people out with
some of the stuff that pops up.
I would let her soak in a bath and try to
let it air out sometimes. You can always
call your doc instead of running in and
see what a nurse says.

Personally with the dangers of the staph
infection I would take her to the dr. I
rather be safe than sorry.

Hey!! My son has developed this really
ugly pimple-like pus things below his
belly button. They are getting bigger and
there are more of them. I looked at
pictures of boils and it looks like that
is what he has. I would have NEVER thought
about boils until I read this thread. Oh
my. Those things are so ghastly looking.
I was hoping to avoid the doctor but
reading about staph infection has freaked
me out. I will be on the phone tomorrow.
Boils, thrush, yeast...crap, what next.
Oh, the joys of parenthood.

what about MRSA? I heard that MRSA appears
like that.
Sarah, Karin.. i'd take the baba's to the
hospital.. MRSA is spreading like wildfire
and HAS to be treated.
Atleast call the ER and ask if there is
any cause for concern.

awww, Poor Oni! I hope she gets rid of
them soon. I think I'd at least call a
doctor or nurse to see what they suggest.
Poor Brian too, I hope he feels better
too.

MRSA is medication-resistant
staphalococcus aureus (spelled that
wrong). It's a staph infection that cannot
be treated with traditional courses of
medication. It can be fatal if left
untreated.
