My health nurse (a very popular nurse where I live, she's been a baby health nurse for many yrs) said if you ever use a nappy rash cream make sure it has ZINC in it, as that's what helps heal the skin.

She told me to throw out the Paw Paw Ointment & Bepanthan that friends had recommended that I had & weren't working.

I used all the nappy rash creams my friends recommended, ... And of course none where working as they didn't have ZINC in them.

The moment I used SUDOCREM , it worked wonders. ... Smells nice too like lavender. And i usually can't stand the smell of lavender. But it is a nice clean smell, espesh if they have just done a smelly poo. I only use if I see a bit of rash or a graze or something like that and it heals in no time !!

If it doesn't appear to be helping your little one in 24hrs of using I'd be take him to your Baby Health Nurse or GP asap.

Hope all works out
