Diaper rash

[Guest guest]

ah...this one I know cause I have been selling one very successfully

for a few years now and call it baby bottom cream It is simply

olive oil infused with calendula(antibacterial antifungal as well as

softening) and use beeswax to make a soft creamy salve. you can also

add a few drops of tea tree and or lavender as both are so beneficial

in healing and totally safe in such a small qty. for baby or mommy's

belly and actually makes a wonderful cream for skin rashes of any

variety. My MIL uses it now onherskin problems(scoriasis)

hi maureen,

my daughter had such trouble with diaper rash. this is what finally worked

for us----using a wet washcloth to clean her rather then wipes ( except for

poo of course). we alternated using balmax and baby powder with corn starch

for every diaper change.

i hope that this helps, so poor patrick won;t be in such pain.

I use desitin occasionally too, you can also try bathing him in warm water

and letting him air dry several times a day, air will help his bottom heal

better than anything .Just put a clothe diaper under him and let him air out

on the floor for awhile. You have gotten lots of suggestions ,,, goodluck

nettie619 ,, oh and its good to have a dr check him if its constant , I know

you did,, but if it continues you might want to try these things and if it

still persists take him in for another opinion.. sometimes it can be a new

food, allergy or even yeast infection in babies.

[Guest guest]

for the diaper rash, try plenty of airing out and what about A & D ointment?

hope his little buns are better soon.

[Guest guest]

I use good old Penaten. It works wonders, coats the bottom to keep it from

being stung anymore from waste and usually the redness has abated significantly

the next day. I also use it for Tim's boils that he develops frequently. When

one starts flaring up, I put some Penaten on a bandaid, put the bandaid on the

area, and within a day or so it's nearly gone.

Re: diaper rash

Hi Maureen-

I am sorry to hear about s little bottom. Here are some

suggestions that we do. A warm bath with baking soda might help. When

my sons bottom gets red I put Pinxav (pronounced Pink Salve) on it.

This sticks a little better than the Desitin (at least I think). The

other thing I do is make my own baby wipes. I think this has really

helped with diaper rash. If you would like the recipe for baby wipes

email me and I will give it to you. Hope some of this advice helps!!

Have you ever tried Bag Balm? It's originally for cow udders, but now you

can get it at most grocery stores or drug stores. It also has an antiseptic

in it.

I agree with some of the stuff mentioned (balmex is great and trying to avoid

using baby wipes). My son Liam has gotten bad rashes after taking

antibiotics and we've had to resort to prescription anti-fungal creams.

Also, a friend recommended using plain Dial soap in his bath water and that

seemed to help. By the way, he also gets a rash type reaction to certain

drinks. Cranberry juice and lemonade (no matter how much I water them down)

irritate him a lot.

One of my nieces has such delicate skin, her mom had to use Balmex all the

time to prevent the rash from starting. If you figure out what works for

, you might

have to use it all the time for a while.

Maureen,

Try looking for " Triple Paste " It's diaper rash cream and it's the only

thing that has worked when my kids have rashes that won't respond to

Desiten, A & D, Balmex etc.... It always works - never fails! Can sometimes be

hard to find though... try SavOn (if you have those near you), or local

pharmacies (it is OTC), Longs. Sometimes, pharmacies can order it for you.

But I highly recommend it.

Besides what other suggested (using homemade wipes, desitan, etc.) I would also

suggest feeding him yogart with live cultures. I know of a drug store in WV

that sells this stuff called spermicidin cream...made from a sperm whale. The

local pediatricians sent their patients (parents) there to get it. I can give

you the name and number if you are interested.

ps avoid anything with alcohol in it.

Hi All

My son has just had his LAST operation to eliminate

Hirshsprungs disease. This is an intestinal and he just had an

ileostomy reversal and is SUFFERING from diaper rash. It looks like

sunburn. I am a new mom and the docs did tell me that this is common

and the most seen problem.Now, I butter up his buns with the Desitin

ointment but I wasa hoping for some suggestions. I wish they made

something in a spray or something.

He has never cried and to hear scream is totally breaking my heart.

So if anyone has any advice my husband and I and ESPECIALLY

would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you and Best Regards

Congratulations on that LAST operation. I know what a relief it is to get

that operation over with, and on to a more " normal " life. My son, who is

now 11, had his last operation to have a illeostomy reversed (also

Hirschsprungs) when he was 2 1/2.

What I remember is that the stools following the operation seem to be more

acidic than typical baby poop, and create a horrible diaper rash, the likes

of which I had never seen before, or since. Ordinary methods just did not

work. Even the prescription remedies failed.

One of our doctors finally did recommend an ointment that did the trick.

It is called CRITIC-AID by Sween . I have corporation info on the tube

if more info is needed. We had to order it from our pharmacist, who was

familiar with it, and in fact started keeping it in stock for us. I still

keep a tube around. It's a great protective ointment.

My new grand daughter has had diaper rash for over 2 weeks, and its not getting

better. Her doctor has prescribed an anti-fungal salve, now a steroid cream. But

they haven't helped yet.

My daughter doesn't believe in taking supplements such as probiotics, which I

think likely may be a factor in the digestive problems my grand daughter is

having.

What should be done. What would help?

We only used one regular diaper. We tried pull-ups because in theory they made

sense, but they just didn't work - for us. we tucked the diaper under the cast

and only had a couple (2) problems with leakage....these would be when my

husband had the genius idea of just putting the diaper over the cast!!!

We sware by Buddreux's Butt Paste- it's got a funny name but it's a great diaper

rash cream.

[Guest guest]

At Babies R Us they have BabyGanics cream infused wipes... they are AMAZING for

diaper rash. I used them on my 2y/o recently bc regular wipes were stinging. I

only used the BabyGanics wipes and his diaper rash cleared up without any

cream/ointment. And yes, if it is yeast, ask for some nystatin... good luck!

The reason that I have been using 2 diapers (Luvs diapers) is because they told

me at Shriners that it is better protection for the cast. But, I am beginning

to try pull-ups today. I already had a pack here. And I just changed Abby

about 10 minutes ago. I washed her bottom with Aquaphor cleanser and patted her

dry. Then I applied Balmex diaper ointment (it seems to work the best on her)

and put a pullup on her. I tucked it in the best I could up underneath the

diaper. I am going to change her every 1 1/2 hours today and tonight and

hopefully that will make this horrible redness go away. Thanks for your

suggestions. I will let you all know how she does. She goes back to Shriners

tomorrow just for a checkup.

Can you try giving her some "bare" time? I've never had a problem with Grace wetting, but that's because of her bladder issue. But letting the area air dry for a while might help. Oh, have you thought that maybe she's aquired an allergy to something in Luvs? I personally have only used Huggies because they're the only ones that didn't make my kids break out.

Jane, yes I am going to give her a break from the diaper the next time I change

her. I have done this before and it does help. As for her being allergic to

Luvs, she has used them since birth and never once had a problem until she was

casted. So, I think it was more of an issue of having one extra diaper on that

held in heat.

It very well could be a heat rash. I have never heard of or think its necessary

to use two diapers, plus that gets expensive! We use Luvs as well but we do not

yuck into the cast. That seems wrong to me. If you tuck in the cast naturally

its going to go up the cast. I would use your diaper rash ointment, one diaper

and after you appy the tabs in the front tuck the diaper in on itself so it

provides a lip so to speak. You can do this in the back too. Once we started

doing this we have never had a pee leak, no use of poise pads or kushies. Works

like a charm for us! And once in awhile a little butt paste!
