Enviroment/Food Related Nappy Rash?

[DaintreeDream]

My DD1 has never really had nappy rash, her bum would get red, I would put on some paw paw and it would be gone by the next nappy change until 2 months ago, this is when we moved to the country this is also when she finally started to eat solids on a regular basis. So much has happed in the last two months that I have no idea where to start.

So, her rash is spotty and can get blisters I cannot determind if it is a yeast infection or not, I have taken her to the doctors and she said it is regular nappy rash. As she has never had this before and is now 2 I believe it may be enviromental/food related so please give me your suggestions on what can cause nappy rash like this.

Ummm, what's the water like up there? Are you on tank?

[DaintreeDream]

I was thinking water. No we aren't on tank water, just tap. Is there a simple way to purify the water to see if it has any effect?

[Lulu]

Hmm, unless you get one of those ceramic things attached to your tap?

Bore water backs me up

My DD tends to get bum-rashy when she's teething (acid saliva?) and also from eating more acidy types of fruit - too much citrus or kiwi fruit, which is a pity cos kiwi is her favorite.

There's this fabulous cream you can get at the chemist which has a soothing component (like sigmacort) mixed in with and anti-fungal, I have found it to work any time the rash persists more than a couple of days (sorry I can't remember what it's called right now but the pharmacist will know). If you've tried this for a couple of days and it doesn't clear up then it's worth another opinion at the drs.

Is it Daktozin? - I LOVE the stuff, DD's rash clears up in 5-12hrs of using it
