My son (18 mo) has diaper rash that WILL. NOT. GO. AWAY. Its been months and months.
I have tried:
-switching diapers
-switching wipes
-desitin (regular, extra strength and ointment)
-A&D
-boudreauxs butt paste
-aquafor
-honest company
-california baby
Then the dr thought it was yeast based, so we did a week or two of Lotrimin, then was prescribed Nystatin. The best its been was on the Nystatin for a few days but it never fully cleared up, and it went to full on red/chapped again. His butt is always red and blotchy, just in varying degrees- it goes from kind of red to crazy bright red with almost open wound type skin- (and of course he screams bloody murder when we wipe it) We try to let him go diaper free for a little bit, but that of course ends in pee on the carpet. (Right now he's in Bambo diapers) Does ANYONE have any suggestions of some crazy remedy that worked for them when all else failed? I am going crazy here!!

Then, I made my own cream with Desitin and corn starch mixed together. I put this paste all over his bottom. In 2 days it was scabbing and drying up. I bathed with a little vinegar added to neutralize the urine and some baking soda (remedies I found on internet). After bathtime, LO crawled around naked or we used a warm blow dryer to make sure he was super dry before applying our ointment. Now, I add extra corn starch to almost all diapers just in case.
I hope that this is helpful!
