nappy rash

[jodi]

DD has developed a red rash in the genital area. It doesn't look like a rash as such, just really red, and she's very irritable. Hates it when we put a nappy on her. We tried using baby powder, bepanthem & sorbelene but these have all flared it up. Everytime she wees or poos she screams. What else could I try?

Cornflour - straight from the pantry. Put a fair bit on, with no other creams etc.

Works a treat. :thumbsup: :yes:

I'd have to recommend pawpaw cream too DS gets nappy rash so bad that it bleeds when i wipe him and i put a fair bit of that on once and it's cleared up the next day.

Paw paw is a high petroleum content ointment. Bad nappy rash responds better to a light cream that is easlily absorbed. Try calendula, or see a Dr. as it could be fungal. Saty away from thick creams and ointments though, they can breed the rash underneath and make it worse.
