Re: Any magic diaper rash tips?
Get calmoseptine from the pharmacy, it works really well.
White vinegar also works for us and then we use an OTC Anti-Fungal cream once it's dried. If it seems painful or itchy combine it with cortizone cream and give your LO some tylenol or ibuprofen. Oh and Wal-mart has both an antifungal cream and a cortizone cream that are an "off" brand for 88 cents! Can't beat that!
Seems like I try something new every time DS gets a rash. I haven't tried this yet, but several of my friends have recommended mixing maximum strength Desitin, antifungal cream, and liquid Maalox.
Honestly, what works best for us is just making sure we put petroleum jelly on top of whatever treatment cream we use. That makes an effective barrier that both helps the treatment soak in and keeps urine and poop from further burning the skin.
