    Dd's are wY too small to pop and the dr said to leave them. Gonna start her with proboitic. Should I be pulling her out of swimming ?

    DD1 still went to swimming although hers were on her tummy and were covered by bathers at all times. Maybe if they are exposed then don't let her go.

    I haven't pulled my son out of swimming, i was told that was most likely where he caught them and that unless i was willing to remove him for 2 years there was no point.
    My son has had them for about 6-8 months now. I took him to the dr who said anything you do to aggravate the area will help them go away faster. He suggested a mild acne cream which i used twice daily on him for about a week. It helped clear some up, but not all. Also he said covering them in micropore tape is really good. You leave it on overnight (min) and as when you take it off it really upsets them and then your body realises they are there and attacks. I did this once, and i think that helped more than the cream did. But i haven't done it again as it really upset my son as he couldn't understand why i did it. I found taking it off in the shower was better than taking it off dry.

    If I put her in a rashie they will not be exposed, as they are on her nappy area and under her arms. It is thought that she has caught them at swimming lessons while wearing a floatation device that was under her arms. So I want to put her in a rashie anyway, so that her skin does not touch the floatation devices.
