Nappy Rash Lifesaver

[Beatrix]

hey everyone

I thought i would come in here and share the most fantastic nappy rash cure there is (IMO)

My girls have suffered extremely bad nappy rash over the time where they would get blisters the size of 50cent pieces on their bums while teething and nothing worked like this product... They used to also get a bladder/urine infection because they were so scared to wee cause it hurt they would hold it in.

so I was told to use..

opsite flexifix

made by smith and nephew

it is a breathable skin you place over the affected area. I dont know if you have ever had a drip or canula put in but you know how they use that clear thin like bandaids over the top well thats what this is like.

It allows your child to wee or pooh without screaming in pain form the burning as the wee and pooh don't make contact with the rash.

It is very breathable. sticks in place and can last up to 2 days (depending whether you get nugget pooh or squishy pooh). My girls rash would be gone entirely withing 3 days!!!!!

they use it on elderly people who find band aids to harsh on there skin.

Most chemists sell it in the dressing area. Its about $4 per metre but a metre can last you a long time.


So i hope this helps you if you are ever in need.

OOhh, so going to try this.

2 days ago overnight DD came out in the worst nappy rash i have ever seen. On both sides it is these long cracked open bleeding sores about 8cm long, and generally red and inflammed all over.. I have no idea how it happened (i think a virus), she was fine one day and overnight it went this bad.

We have been using Zinc & Castor Oil cream at night, and a combo of cortisone and anti-fungal during the day every 2 hours with just water and face washer to clean her. The redness is down but it still looks shocking with the open part...

I'll go out when she wakes up and try this.
