So much scariness over a nappy rash!

[fionas]

DD suffers from nappy rash quite a lot and was understandably a complete nightmare to change. But she loves having cream on so I bribe her with that. I tell her we're going to change her nappy and can she please get the cream. Then I let her put her finger in the tub or squeeze some on to her fingers and she puts it on herself (with a bit of help from me). It means she gets cream on her clothes and on mine but hey, I'd prefer that to fighting with her.

Hope Riv's rash gets better.

mmm the cream after the shower thing can help!! Also when we get those awful painful rashes we chuck a disposable on just once to help get over the initial pain.... I so know the trying to figure out what is going wrong...

Aww the poor little guy. Oskar had one that really gave him grief a little while back, he had some antibiotics but was a bit sensitive to them... oh and his poor little bottom. He would start crying and telling me no as soon as he knew I was going to change his nappy and he would go no cream, no cream. My doc said I could use Dermaid (.5% - so very mild cortosone (sp?)) on it and that worked pretty much overnight. Next day it was still red but it was dry rather than the sore looking red and moist it had been. Mind you it still took a while for him to get over that it wasn't going to hurt to change his nappy.

It seems fine today, he had another bath today and heaps more cream, and it looks almost normal again! It was just such a weird rash, looked like sunburn and is all better now!

sounds like acid-poo burn, ouch!! glad its better

Yeah, Natty sometimes gets poo-burn, mainly after she's eaten too many grapes.
I find that the sposie wipes really hurt that sort of nappy rash and I need to just use water with a soft wipe - like a muslin nappy.
Glad he is better though

Yep, sounds like a burnie one, DS always hates it when that happens and sometimes will refuse to sit down in the bath because it stings
