Anyone have the magical cure for severe diaper rash? Have been trying air dry, baths, Butt paste to no avail. My poor baby is so red and sore and has had it for almost a week.

Re: Severe Diaper Rash... help!
My doctor/friend gave us the miracle homemade diaper rash recipe. It's awesome.
Use one entire tube of A&D diaper rash cream, a entire tube of Bacitracin (this is a smaller tube), entire tube of Lotramin AF, and 2 Tablespoon of liquid Malox (I used the no flavor kind). I used a small glass container with a lid, put it all together and stirred it really really well. It will feel a bit greasy on your skin, it takes warm water to wash your hands after you apply it. It sounds weird but it cleared up DS's rash with one treatment.
Also, the airing out is important, we try and do at least 5 minutes every day.

Oh, I learned the hard way, don't change a diaper, use this cream with your bare hands, think you washed your hands enough and then go and clean bottles....I did this and I realized the nippes were super slippery...well, the grease from this cream stayed on my fingers even after washing them...and then I transferred them to the bottles. I had to rewash my hands and scrub, then rewash and sanitize all the bottles I had already touched.
Now I wrap a wipe around my fingers, dip that in the cream and put it on DS's butt. Or you could use a cotton ball or something else so that your skin doesn't come in direct contact with the cream.
And like PP stated, if it is a yeast rash, you might have to have a prescription grade cream to get rid of it. We didn't, so we just applied this stuff after every diaper change and slathered it on and the rash was completely gone the next day, it looked great even after just one use. Hope it works well for you!

We just got over a pretty bad rash and our Dr. recommended (it worked for us) - rub lotrimin on LO bottom until it is all rubbed in then top it off with a think layer of Destin max. We also put baking soda in LO bath and let her soak. Another suggestion the Dr. had was to mix 1 part lotrimin, 1 part destin, 1 part Neosporin and rub that on LO bottom - but for us the 1st recommendation worked with in 3-4 days - Good luck
triple paste for the win
the dr also suggested cortisone twice a day...she had some open sores from all the pooping and wiping
we also let her splash in a tub of warm water every night
she cried at every diaper change....so glad it's better now
