whats on her bum?

[2CheekyMonkeys]

i just changed my DD2's nappy and found that right in near her anus are what look like little scabs. is it a really bad nappy rash? i have been using Daktozin cream for the past week cause her bum has been red but now i see these wierd scabby things.. should i get it seen to?

i used every nappy rash cream possible on my two but the only thing that work was paw paw cream its fantastic and not that expensive. To me its sounds like her nappy rash has scabbed

Nappy rash can get scabby and I agree it could be that. Maybe give her a bit of nappy free time as much as you can over the next few days. I see you live in Brisbane so it should be warm enough for her to go bottomless. Sunlight does wonders for nappy rash too. Also cloth nappies are great for this because they don't retain humidity like sposies do. Is she wearing cloth or sposies?

yeah she is in disposables.. my bad! i will try and air her bum out. i have some paw paw cream so will give that a go too. if it doesnt get better i think i will take her to one of those chemist baby clinic things, i dont think it warrants a visit to the GP do you?
