Diaper rash and nothing is working?

Hi my daughter has a really bad diaper rash and i have been using A+D ointment, and baby powder, Aveeno and balmex and everything out there that they have and it is not working! I need help does any one out there have any suggestions.

I have a daughter how suffered really badly with nappy rash and to make matters worse all of the shop/chemist brought ointments that I got she reacted badly to them, bad enough that she has been hospitalised a couple of times and we nearly lost her one time. Our local doctor told us to try corn flour/corn starch. Just dust it thickly over the nappy rash and leave it. Wash the area properly, every time you change her and then when dry dust her again. Its like magic 24hours and nothing...not expensive at all. REALLY worth a go and fantastic on adults as well who has problems with heat rash to. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS USED IN THIS HOUSE and not only for nappy rash. Good luck.

Balmex always worked for my son. If u get cornstarch and some warm water and make a paste on put it on several times a day it really works and its soothing to the child.

Use zinc oxide.It works really well on diaper rash. I have been using for years in my daycare.

I used to use Balmex, Desitin, etc. and i threw them all away after I used Boudreaux's Butt Paste. Its thick so it stays on and it works awesome. You can get it almost anywhere you buy any other kind of diaper rash cream. If that still doesnt work, take her to the doctor and they will give you a perscription cream. Good luck!

Yes...do without the baby powder cause that keeps things dry, a bit too dry to clear it up. I've always used a mix of diaper rash ointment, and vaseline...kinda smear it all together, on the red area, but dont use any powders......and within no more than a day, it was cleared up, and also, even when it's gone, still continue to use the diaper ointment for just a day or so...it'll get the skins toughness regulated. I have 3 kids, trust me!! Oh, and have been a stay at home dad too!!

This works for my 11 month old. Get an clean blanket, lay her down on it after you take her diaper off and let her butt air dry. Do this for about 20 mins at an time. 3-4 times an day. It will help with the diaper rash. Also it might be the diaper to. Change diaper brands. Also do not use diaper wipes that are scented. That will make thing worse because of the perfumes in it..

You also might try leaving the area exposed to air a little longer after changing..maybe keep her in a relatively pee-proof confined area for about a half an hour before diapering her up again. Make sure that when you do change her, the area is completely dry before you put a new diaper on. If you wipe (especially with moisturizing wipes) and then put any sort of petroleum or oil-based ointment on while the area is still wet, the oil will lock the water in next to the skin.

There is a cream I used when my baby had one 28 years ago, they do still make it because I bought some for my grandaughter's diaper rash- it is excellent! It is called "Resinol" but I don't know who makes it- but you can look for it in drugstores, you may want to ask someone if they carry it, if not see if they can order it, it clears rash'es up in less than 12 hours!

Clean her in ivory soap and water. dry the area very well, get a box of corn starch(that is used in cooking) Powder her bottom with it. use a clean foot of a stocking , fill with the c.starch then put a knot at the top.Keep the power in the stocking and place it in a plastic bag in the fridge! I know this sounds wild but it really works! Give it a try!

1- Change diaper every 2 hours at least
2- Clean with gentle soap (ex: diluted johson's shampoo) and water using a coton tissue.
3- DRY DRY DRY very well
4- Expose diaper area as much as u can to the air
5- Apply zinc oxide or eryplast or sudocream.

My daycare provider suggested Triple Paste. It's available without a prescription but they keep it behind the pharmacy counter so you will have to ask the pharmacist. It works miracles for diaper rash.

I'm also in agreement with the other people who advised to keep the area as dry as possible and switch to an unscented baby wipe, or just use a soft baby washcloth with mild soap to clean a messy diaper.

Diaprotex (think that's spelled correctly) is fantastic. It is a super thick white cream that you put on baby's clean bottom with a sponge that comes with it. This stuff will not let urine or feces penetrate it. It was highly recommended by an ER physician to me when my daughter had a horrible case of diaper rash. Also if you find that absolutely nothing works, please take her to the doctor to be checked because it is possible for her to have a yeast infection on the outside. If this is the case then no over the counter meds will work to correct it, she would need steroidal cream.

try deodorant spray it will burn but rash feels better im 40 disabled wheelchair bound ant thats only thing that helps or try lysol disinfectant spray . please dont think im crazy or stupid

When a diaper rash becomes very red and bold and doesn't respond to usual treatment it might be infected with yeast, so give your daughter a bath in her rash areas with water and vinegar ( 1 gallon/2tablespoons) 2 times a day and use a cream like micostatin plus the usual treatment.

OTA open to air
Try that before putting any of the creams people are suggesting on it. A cream might have caused the condition, or at least worsened it.

Try putting her down for a nap with out a diaper. and when you change her let the area dry completely. Change her the second she is wet, the main thing is to keep that area dry try not to use so many ointments they could be making it worse. If it dose not improve soon. Take her to the doctor she may have a yeast infection or some thing.

One of my twin daughters had really bad diaper rash and I tried everything. As it turned out she was allergic to something in her Infamil. You should have her checked by her doctor if it doesn't get better..

Their are lots of reasons a diaper rash can be caused. It could be the diaper; parents not changing the baby in time, some type of allergic reaction to the ointment/baby powder/diaper. I would talk to a local pharmacist or see a doctor to find out if their are any options/smiler cases to get this diaper rash over with. Please read the following to get a better idea on how to treat the diaper rash.

Thanks,

believe it or not it may be a yeast infection. check with the doctor. i was told to use canestan cream on my baby and it worked. you may need a prescription for the cream because it is not the same as the over the counter kind.

I used to sit my little boy in a oatmeal bath for about 20 mins, (aveeno or walgreens brand), then I would let him air dry for about an hour or so frequently throughout the day.
