Cloth Diapering

Another rash question...

We mostly CD but over the weekend DS spent a bit of time in disposables.  Monday morning we were back in cloth.  When I changed him Monday night I noticed he had what looked like 2 blisters on his butt right inside where the diaper touches his leg.  I assumed it was from the diaper rubbing but it didn't make sense for the placement.  I was wondering if it wasn't a chemical burn from the disposable diapers.  I'm sure its different for everyone but what does a chemical burn even look like?  Would it start off looking like a blister? 

After reading some posts on this board now I'm wondering if is something else, like amonia.  Would an amonia rash start off looking like a blister?

I'll start with trying to identify this rash and then move on to what to do.

Re: Another rash question...

  • I'm assuming you didn't see the rash Monday morning when you put cloth on him?  If he's reacting to the disposables I'd think the rash would have been visible Monday morning before you went to cloth.  Blisters could possibly be chafing.  What kind of diaper was he wearing?  Has he worn that diaper before?  Is the edge possibly serged, or is it turned and topstitched?

    Right, I didn't see any rash Monday morning.  He was with my sister all day so he had a few different diapers on that day, but they were all ones he's worn before.  He's actually been in disposables the past two days and the rash/blisters are getting better but I'm putting him back in cloth tomorrow morning when I'll be with him all weekend.  I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

    Thanks
