Burnt bottom on DS

At the moment Zachery is very sick. He has a nasty cold. Bad cough, snotty nose, but the worst bit is mucous poos in every nappy. His poor little butt and penis is red raw and weeping and bleeding. Ive tried, Bepanthan with a numbing agent, Sudocream, Earth Mum natural nappy cream, sorbolne cream....but nothing is helping.

What can i do to help him?

He screams in bad all the time when i have to change him and its breaking my heart.

Oh, poor little mite.

I've had that happen once and the only thing that helped was fresh air. I know it's hard in this weather but is that any way he can have nappy free time?

If it is bleeding and weeping I'd be inclined to take him to the Doctors tomorrow just to make sure it isn't getting infected.

**visitor1** · June 15th, 2009, 09:09 PM

Oh yeah Mel, i remember that now....se sent me some ages back and it worked on Chelsea....

My poor man is crying now.....i give him lots of nappy off time atm, but not helping much

We just had nasty nappy rash here, and I bathed it with PineTar solution (instead of nappy wipes) and using a pharmacy blend of zinc, olive oil and other goodness for 4 days and it cleared up perfectly.
Hope it gets better.

Oh, and if his penis is growing, and he's not circumsized, then expect a bit of redness as the skin expands around him, and starts pushing back.

daktozin cream has the highest amount of zinc I think, thats the one Id be going for if you want to try a cream. You get it at the chemist.

If its not improving either ask the pharmacist or maybe a trip to the GP.

That has been an absolute heaven sent in this house! When dd has had bad nappy rash from teething etc even when she got thrush from anti biotics, it was the only thing that worked! I don't bother with bepanthen or sudocreme etc anymore because daktozin is the only thing that actually helps it, and I mean like within 1 nappy change sometimes, it's fantastic! Hope your little one is feeling better soon. It's horrible when they have done a poo and you really need to wipe it clean and all they do is howl.

Oh hun I totally understand! Brendans bum has only just gotten better... he's been sick for a week now.

I use curash on Brendan, frequent nappy changes (every 1-2 hours) and some nappy free time.... which isn't the easiest especially if little Zachery is pooping as often as Brendan is

I hope it gets better soon hun and I hope he is better soon too.

apply the sudocream heavily to a bit of bandage.. even a piece of a good quality baby wipe works. Stick it to babys weeping red bits, zinc side down onto skin. put nappy back on. This is what we do for our #2 and it tends to clear up nicely overnight.. just keep doing the same at each nappy change.
i think mucous in poo is not normal and might be worth seeing the dr about. Hope he is all well soon!

Well ive got the paw paw cream on THICK tonight....raced to Woolies to get it....chemists were closed, but will go tomorrow.

He ad nappy off for around 2 hours before a shower tonight....yeah it was messy but he needed it

Logan gets like that when he is sick also.. i give him a bath after every 'dirty' nappy just so that his bum and penis are actually clean then i just pat dry and cake on the ichthammol cream that i got from a chemist BEST NAPPY CREAM i have ever bought...
GL i hope it clears up soon!!
