Diaper Rash

our baby's had a diaper rash for a few weeks now.  in the past when his buns turned a little red, the prescription rash cream took care of it within a day.  but this time, we've been slathering on the cream and it's still red.  actually it's progressed to tiny red bumps.  i'm wondering if it's the Luv's diapers.  unfortunately, i can't remember exactly when we started using it. but a few days ago we switched to 7th generation and the rash is getting better.  we still have some luv's left, but i don't know if we should switch back to finish using them.

 

anyone else experience worse diaper rash with luv's or is it just our imagination?

    I don't use Luvs but when Nicholas diaper rash flares I was told by the pedi to just use straight petroleum jelly because you have to wipe so much harder to get the zinc off it makes the diaper rash worse.

    Sophie had this.  Air him out - put him on some Chucks pads without pants/diapers on for a few hours.  She got a yeast infection after the diaper rash went away, and we mixed a little bit of Lanosin cream in with her diaper cream and that disappeared in a couple days.  The yeast infection looked like little eczema bumps at first, then looked kind of like blisters a couple days later.

    this is late, but julie just had this.  it was a yeast-y infection.  the NP told us if you see those satellite lesions - the little dots - it is the indicator that this is not standard diaper rash.  she said something like lotimin is good, but gave us a prescription and coupon for vusion.  it's expensive but if your dr has a coupon it's worth it.  went away immediately!

    I love Aquaphor for all skin irritations on DD, esp diaper rash and the CVS generic brand works just as well.

    I also love Triple Paste found at Target in the baby section. It cleared DD BAD rash up in 3 applications!
