Diaper rash help...

di0607

Repost from 12-24 mon: 

DS has had on and off diaper rash of varying looks and severity for 6 weeks now. We have used all the different creams, anti-yeast, anti-fungal, etc. I looks better and almost goes away and then comes back (he is in daycare during the day). I have no idea what to do to make it go away once and for all.

We use sam's club wipes and currently target diapers. Any input on what else to try? He has never had diaper rash before this, we rarely even used the cream. I'm considering switching the brand of diapers and wipes again. Cloth diapers are going to be a last resort if nothing else helps. We are also at least 3+ months from any intention to potty train. Any help or input would be appreciated.

Anyone use 7th generation products? Could this be the weather (sweaty skin) and the chemicals in the diapers causing the rash...

We have had to get prescription antifungal creams from our Dr. Before.

We have also alternated plain lamisil with A&D for a few days. That seems to do it fast. I am not a fan of the Maalox mixture  though.

We have used the generic lamisil (clot-something) for over a week. It looks better for a day or so and then flairs up again. When we started the clot-something the diaper rash was bleeding and looked horrible now it is just reddish.

We use a prescription antifungal (nystatin), then slather triple paste over it.  I've found that it takes the rash away almost instantly, but I need to continue the triple paste for a few days afterwards to keep it from coming back. 

We use Target diapers for Ava with no more issues than we had when using Pampers....

we've been using nystatin for a week with Zoey and it doesn't look much better. I have a dr. appt. today for her and will let you know if I get any other good tips. We try to let her air out some between changes but it's hard with 3 babies...

Triple Paste is the best thing ever!!!! Katie gets diaper rash quite a bit and I use the antifugal stuff and the triple paste and it clears up.  If I stop the triple paste for a few days it comes back so I use the triple paste with almost every diaper change especially at night.  It is expensive but worth it.  We use pampers and I am thinking about switching to a new brand to see if it helps.
