I am visiting my niece this weekend and she has the worst diaper rash. My SIL is using Butt Paste religiously, but poor Addy is just miserable. She keeps grabbing herself because it hurts. My SIL thinks the rash is because she switched diapers, then switched back again because normally Addy never has diaper rash. Any suggestions that work besides Butt Paste? Thanks!
Re: Diaper Rash Cure??
If it's yeast related- do a layer of Lotrimin then a layer of A&D ointment
If it's from diarrhea- do a layer of Maalox (cherry not mint), pat dry and then a layer of A&D ointment
If you're not sure or it's both- alternate.
Should see improvement in 24 or less.
If she is trying to grab and dig it that may be yeast. Be careful and wash her hands right away if she touches it. A good friend of mine just had her little one spread yeast all over her body including her face b/c she didn't know it was contagious or that she even had yeast. I would treat it with lotrimin and if you don't see improvement with that then I would contact the pedi.
FYI CHOA PICU (and probably the rest of the hospital) uses the Desitin (blue one). My BFF is a nurse there and that is what she recommended.
