BAD nappy rash!

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

is it a radiating rash, or just red raw? - my DD had something very similar but it was radiating and turned out she had a nappy thrush infection. Daktozin cream was FANTASTIC as it is a nappy cream and anti fungal in one. i still use it now when she gets a bad case of nappy rash. her rash started clearing up within 5 hours of using it and by the next morning it was gone.

is it possible to get him into a bath? if he's reacting to the chemicals in the pull up it might be a good idea to clean him up (and also give him some relief

Thanks girls, put him in the shower with me as I thought he probably wouldn't sit down in the bath. He still cried the whole time poor thing.

It's completely covering where the nappy was, even on his testicles, does it sound like radiating? This was HOURS ago, can't believe it's still so bad! I now have an almost full packet of pull ups to give away.

At the moment he's ok with a nappy on very loose to catch the pee but don't know what I'll do when he wants to go to bed.

do you have any cooling type creams? moo goo or similar?

[~Hestia~]

All I have is QV moisturiser, some Amolin cream and a cortisone for his eczema. Stupid me has nothing as we've never needed it before!

My sister said to use the cortisone so that's what he has on at the moment.

I second the cortizone... have used that on Oskar when he got a really burnt bum from AB's and doc said use that and I put it on after bath. The next morning it was still red but it was dried out and not angry looking or sore anymore. I hope his little bottom is better in the morning!
