I've used all the regular creams and pastes on him. It's not bleeding or itchy, but it very red and bumpy. Poor little guy. Anyone know of something stronger?
Answer:
My daughter had a horrible one when she was a baby, and I too tried everything. Then my pediatrician told me to mix cornstarch and vaseline together unill it forms kind of a paste. Rub that on the rash. Everytime you change him clean the area with a cloth dampened in warm water, the reapply the paste. He'll get immediate relief and it will heal very quickly. I still make this stuff even now for heat rashes, etc. It's like a magic cure all for skin rashes. I hope it's gone quickly for him! Good luck.

Hi, when my daughter was a baby i used Penatin (spelling?) cream and if that didnt work I went to the doctor and got a prescription. Hope this helped
Hi there,A perfect cream for nappy rash is 'Bepanthen', it IS THE BEST. check website below!
I sounds like a yeast infection, not a diaper rash. If you take him to the doctor you will probably get a prescription for niacin. You can also try an over-the-counter like monistat.If this has persisted for a while, it may be an allergy to the diapers, if you use disposables. You know how there are beads in disposable diapers that turn to gel when wet? This is a synthetic chemical and many infants are allergic. Try switching to a different brand of diaper, or use cloth. Cotton diapers can compound the rash if it's not an allergy, so try a fleece diaper. Fleece wicks moisture away from the skin. Something like this may do the trick:

My daughter was allergic to her disposable diapers. Maybe its not diaper rash but an allergic reaction?
