HELP: Horrible horrible rash

[Oscar's mum]

Ozzy again has a horrible horrible rash I wouldn't call it nappy rash though as it goes down his legs more than his bum.

But because of this he won't let me put his nappy on, any suggestions on what do about that? I guess no nappy is great during the day but hmmm night time:confused:

[Oscar's mum]

Anyone got any suggestions??????????? I need some sort of suggestion and soon cause it is getting darker and darker!;)

Not sure exactly what you could do but I suggest ringing one of the helplines for looking after babies. We have a healthdirect line here in Perth( 24 hours) not sure what you have in Brisbane but I am sure if you look up in the phone book you must have a similar free service where you can speak to a nurse. If it is irritating him that much I would be taking him to a doctor tomorrow.
Hope he is better soon.

hmm sounds horrible! maybe you should take him to the doctor and see what they say, or your community child nurse? hope this helps, hope your little one is better soon.

Not sure what it could be, but have you tried bepanthenum (hope I spelt that right), it's good for any skin irritation..... I found it works.......

He could have an irritation from something in his bed, or ???????:confused:

Sorry I couldnt be of more help to you....

Oh NO!!

Have you tries paw paw ointment? Thats the only thing that works on Ella. Or even aloe vera. That might soothe it a bit aswell. :fingerscrossed:

Elidel cream works wonders on rashes. I applied it on a rash on my legs and it disappeared within a day. It doesn't have steroids in it.
