Nappy rash

Powders also can create perfect environments for bacterial growth (if not cleaned properly, thoroughly, or often enough). The become moist, are in a very warm area and can lead to fungal infections. This is particularly difficult with intact boys.

Like MR said, there are safer and more effective ways to deal with nappy rashes, powders are unnecessary.

I use Herron zinc & castor oil, Sudocrem or paw paw ointment.
None of these can be used with mcn's though, unless you use a liner

If it's spotty and doesn't clear up with a day of treating with creams/powders, then it will be thrush. We found that out with DS.

:yeahthat: & thrush will need an anti fungal cream.

Yes! have tendonitis in right hand and left my post short, sorry! Hydrocortisol (generic brand), as it is gentler on the skin, we find is best to clear up thrush of the bum

I swear by sudocreme Only thing is that it cant be used with mcn's so I use disposables until the rash is gone (usually a day or 2 depending on how bad the rash is)
Poor little William, hope it clears soon!

I second a nappy rash cream with Calendula, I use Weleda. DS is 10 months and only only recently got nappy rash for the first time and it was really bad , it was actually blistered and bleeding and the poor thing was in sooo much pain.

I swear after the first application, most of the redness and inflamation had gone.
