Though neither of my kids have had much trouble with rashes, the best thing i've found for it is little innoscents bum balm. no zinc, organic, works.

Are you sure it's nappy rash and not thrush? The way you describe 'spots' sounds a lot like a fungal infection. You need to use an antifungal cream at every nappy change until several days after the rash clears if it is thrush. Ask your pharmacist, I used one which starts with B... anyone??

This is a good point. A thrushy rash will have isolated spots away from the main rash and tends to start as spots as well. It would be a good idea to treat her orally as well. Either nystatin (nilstat) or daktozin are good. Both come as an oral and topical preperation and available over the counter at chemists.
