diaper rash? my baby has a severe diaper rash, especially on her vagina. It looks like it's blistering and is bright bright red. i've tried aveeno diaper rash cream, cornstarch baby powder and let her go about 20 mins at a time with no diaper to no avail. does anyone else have any tried and true remedies? i'm a first time mom, so obviously i've consulted my baby bible, "what to expect the first year" and it recommends that after 72 hours i consult my pediatrician...should i? oh yeah...and it's not because i haven't changed her diaper frequently. i can't even stand to have her with a little pee in her diaper. i think the rash stemmed because she seems to have caught a stomach bug from the neighbors baby, causing her to have diarrhea.
Diaper rash? Hi, i would like ur opinion on what would be good for a diaper rash caused by a bad case of diarrea... My daughter is now 3months 1wk old and last week i had to rush her to the emergency room due to a bad case of diarrea and vomiting (she got dehydrated because of it) Thank God she was fine after they gave her an IV and some pedialite, I guess it was going arround cause a lot of us caught it too, anyway, now she's doing very good just has a bit of diarrea but the doctor told me that since she's also teething that cause a mild diarrea and a rash, well she has that and the rash is pretty bad and would like to know if anybody has any home remedies that i can make to put it on her or anything other than that desitin thing (which is not really helping much), that i can buy, to help her pain and disconfort.. I've also gone through diapers like crazy cause it really burns her when she goes number 1 and 2, and as soon as she does i change her immediately, so she doesn't have to suffer so much. Yeah she actually wakes up when she pees in the middle of the night and i get up and change her right away.

I appreciate all your serious answers! And to the lady that suggested Triple Paste, funny you mentioned that, because I just returned from the store and bought some, so we'll see how it works! I've even made a doc appt for tomorrow to see what they say. Thanks again guys!!

How long does it take for a diaper rash to come up? I sent my daughter to daycare with out a diaper rash. She came home red as can be (it isn't on her bottom it's all on her front) I was told she had a BM and wasn't changed for 30 mins which is not good to if you smell it you should change it asap! My daycare director is saying she had to have a rash before she came in and it didn't happen in one day. My daughter does have skin allergies does that come into play to make it red faster? Thanks We haven't changed anything with her. Her allergies are usually eczema with her allergies. My question is would the BM cause an allergic reaction being on her for 30 mins against the skin? The bm was probabally squished to her front parts since she was in the diaper a while. The rash is only on her front private parts.

What do I use for a baby who has ezcema and a diaper rash? I have a 17 month old who has very bad ezcema. A few days ago she developed a little diaper rash, so I used balmex. Now it irritated her ezcema and she has a god awful rash. Is there any diaper creams that I can use that are safe for her ezcema?? I have changed all of the cleaners, soaps, lotion, sunblock and dtergents(no fabric softner of course) and my doctor says that she disapproves of using steriod creams on a child my daughters age. I also found out that babies with ezcema(as well as adults) can become allergic to items that have worked in the past. My child does have irritability to zinc and zinc oxide witch is contained in most diaper creams. She also, amazingly enough, is sensitive to aquaphor and similar jellies. I don't know what else I can use. Any other sugesstions?

My baby gets diaper rash when we use the normal wipes with her. Does anyone know about wipes that would help? For months my baby was fine with the normal diaper wipes.

Have a great day.
