Q: Diaper Rash
asked by: Lalee on May 8th, 2007
Active User, very eHealthy
Logan has had a diaper rash for a few days now and nothing I've done has helped it. I use Balmex cream and J&J powder (I've tried them one at a time and together and also tried not putting anything on him). The Balmex has always worked just fine on his rashes before, but this one just won't go away.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do? I clean him really well and make sure he is dry before re-diapering. Is there a specific product or something out there that can help with a stubborn rash?

Hmm, I used Balmex and desetin and I don't recall which worked better. But it also helps to use a warm wash cloth to wipe him up rather than the wipe-ups, because those have alcohol in them and only irritate it more. I also let .adriana run around for awhile to air dry (and hope she didn't mess on my floor!)

finn's never had a diaper rash but he does get raw spots in between his rolls (my brother refers to this as "chub rub"), we use a&d and it works wonders.

i've also heard that letting them go around without a diaper on is helpful.

i hope you find something that works and that it clears up soon!

Hmm, I've never heard of sudocreme. I did a quick google on it, and the first few sites that came up were all new zealand and such.

He looked a little better this morning - I'd just been powdering him really well the last few changes. I let him roll around on the bed without a diaper for a little while last night, so that might have done the trick

I'll try the washcloth next and might go for some a d if it doesn't clear up. My mom said she used something that worked great on me and my brother when we were babies... unfortunately, she can't remember what it is. lol.

Thanks for the suggestions!

(and lol @ 'chub rub'!)

We used some stuff called butt paste on my stepdaughter. It worked really well for her. We got it at wal-mart.

a&d works wondersssss!!! seriously! That's all we've ever used on .oni!!

If it spreads, it could be .thrush. call the Dr. if it does spread and/or doesn't get better within a couple of days.

Also you can put baking soda in the tub with him.

We have .Boudreaux's .Butt .Paste here. That's what the hospitals recommend before you leave. Ava only had one when she had a little yeast infection from antibiotics, so I can't tell you how good it works.

Lotrimin mixed with a pea sized amount of cortisone cream works great.. I won't use anything else on .Kaylee.
