poor little guy has developed a bad diaper rash - even a couple of raw areas. i feel sooooo sad for him. i have desitin. does anyone have any other tips?
naked time and triple butt paste. and try using warm wet washcloths instead of wipes. the disposable wipes can dry out the skin and irritate the rash even more.
I second naked time. 30-45 minutes and his little butt will look so much better, I promise. Also, we switched to cloth diapers because DD had terrible diaper rash.

A trick we found that helped is to rinse the wipes in warm water before using...

yes! i can help! lovey developed her first bad diaper rash last week, and i asked about it at her pedi appointment. pedi recommended TriplePaste, which we got at walgreens. cleared up her rash right away, no rx needed.
Try bathing his butt every night, thats what we had to start doing. We also have been using A + D which helped more than Balmex. He was starting to get raw spots, and this has cleared it all up. We also put hydrocortisone cream on his butt a few times a week then top it with A+D.

Currently on Taxol, start A & C in August
use cream with 40% zinc oxide if it persists then it could be yeast. Or you could get your pedi to call in a diaper rash ointment, I think its called poop goop

I also heard that blow drying their little butts dry helps if you don't have a lot of time to do naked time.

Ditto the naked time and triple paste. If you can't keep the diaper off, at least make sure his skin is completely dry before putting cream and a fresh diaper on. Also, dump baking soda (a lot) in a warm bath and let him soak for a bit.
Pedi told us to dab original flavor mylanta on DD's bottom with a cotton ball then let it air dry. It worked a miracle for us! I know it sounds weird, but it works!
i have been told by lots of people that corona diaper rash cream (yellow tube from wal-mart) is the best. it has worked great so far but we haven't had much of a rash yet. gl!
Our nurse said use 1%hydrocortisone cream, but if you have raw patches I wonder if it isn't thrush. You should probably visit the pedi just to make sure. GL

yeah as much as you can give him would be good
not really... more like patches of red, with some raw spots... but not little red dots

GL, i hope your little man feels better!

Alternating Aquaphor and Boudreaux's Butt Paste were the only things that cleared up DS's diaper rash.
Oh, and I second the suggestion on using a warm wet wash cloth in place of wipes (until the rash is gone) and naked time, too!
