    When her rash wouldn't clear up last time I tried Daktozin (thanks to one of your old posts Negrita ) and it cleared it up well however this time sudocream is clearing it up.

    She doesn't really eat any citrus so it wouldn't be that. I think the water might be a good starting point as she used to eat small amounts of food and never reacted where the water has definately changed, so maybe I need to invest in a purifier, off to send some money... I will let you know how we go.

    Thankyou everyone for your responces.

    We are having a simliar prob with our youngest although he is 2 yrs old! It looks like eczema and last time we switched nappies as a certain brand set it off within hours of trying them. He eczema then became infected - imagine that! Poor chap.

    His bottom has flared up again in the last 2 weeks but also on his cheeks, arms and legs..............I am actually starting a food diary........so to cut a long ramble short maybe you could try that and see what makes a diff and what doesn't. So far we have cut out tomoto sauce......

    Hope you get to the bottom of it and it clears up soon.

    My DD's nappy rash actually turned out to be Hand Foot and Mouth disease. Not saying that's whats happening with you, but unless you knew the difference between a nappy rash and the HF&M disease you could easily be confused. as we were.

    I found the tube, the cream I use is called Hydrozole. It's pretty cheap too.
