Our little guy is 5 months old. During that time he has had very few dealings with rashes of any kind. Occasionally there was a small flare-up for which his doc would prescribe an anti-fungal cream and it would clear up in a few days - no problem.
Over the past couple weeks he has developed a rash that will not go away - regardless of what we use. We have used the cream the doctor gave us, Butt Paste, Desitin, A&D ointment. We have tried using warm wash cloths instead of wipes - even though his wipes have no dyes or perfumes and are supposed to be for sensitive skin. We change him very regularly.
Do any of you have any other remedies you have tried that have worked wonders? (He is formula fed so putting breast milk on it is not an option.)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone. He's finally over his rash! I've never heard of the blow-dryer one, but I will definitely try it!
We ended up using Vaseline, which turned out to be the only thing in our arsenal of goodies that really helped reduce the redness. I'm not sure why this one was so stubborn, but I thank you for your input and I'm glad it's gone!
