Hello people,
first I'd like to say thanks to my friend Beck for telling me about this site. I've had a look around and it's going to be very helpful, i can tell.

I'm having a serious nappy rash problem at the moment. My son, 3 month old Aidan, has sensitive skin and the cream our Dr gave us isn't having any effect. Can someone please help. I hate to see my boy in pain.

I look forward to hearing from you all at some point, and give you advice too where I can. bye

Welcome, Aiden and mum to the Hub

Have you tried QV cream or Ego Silic 15 on your little man? Both are for sensitive skin..

Hi and welcome to Bubhub!

Nappy rash...I'm a big believer in not over doing the chemicals - baby wipes, creams, lotions potions and powders. I believe that most of these things are unneccessary and often cause more problems than they prevent/cure (and they're expensive!!) We have always just used water to clean with and we've done great in the nappy rash stakes

To clear it up, I would go for something like the Lucas paw paw ointment (red tube - you can get it from the chemist or a healthfood store) or Greenridge Calendula cream. They both work a treat! Alo, lots of fresh air and sunshine on that lil' bottom

Good luck with it and enjoy Bubhub

Jeeze you get replies quick.
I'll make a note of all your suggestions. Aidan usually gets a bit of no nappy time, but i must admit the last couple of weeks i've been lazy.
The majority of the time we use cloth nappies, but i let the washing get on top of me... NEVER AGAIN.
Even though disposables are great for going out, my boy really can't have them for too long in succession.
I will definately try your suggestions.
thanks again for your quick response
