2 problems...little bit gross

[Tweetsta]

1st: My daughter is 8 weeks old and since she was about 2 weeks she has ben getting these big pus-sy pimples around her groin area...some are tiny like a pin head size and some can get to as big as a your little finger nail. The dr said it was a staff infection and to just keep nappy rash cream and/or bedadine on them...i do..it clears up so i ease off a bit then they just come right on back...any suggestions as to keep them away. Also i get a few on me aswell...i think i had them first when i was pregnant...i still get one or 2 every now and then but not constant like her.

2nd: My older daughter is 2.5yrs and she has 3 boil type things on her stomach...they are really red and sore and hard underneath...i have been puttin badadine on these aswell and just this morning i put her in a nice warm bath and the scabby top came off with a string of pus...it was really quite gross...but the lump is still under all 3 and still sore...are these from what my baby has...or should i get her to a dr?

i'd be going to the doc...i had boils on my inner thighs and groin area and turned out it was a staph infection. i was put on a 4 month high dose course of antibiotics. have not had any recurring boils and that was nearly a year ago. obvioulsy AB's may not be an option given your bubbas are quite young, but id be getting them checked out

Sounds to me lime you are all well-colonised with Staphylococcus . To to your doctor and talk to them about a staph-eradication programme for you and everyone else in the household.i
