My daughter often gets bad diaper rash. I've tried every cream you can think of, including Bag Balm. Any advice or ideas why this happens so often??|||Probably a yeast infection. Try olive oil or coconut oil (yes, the foods). They both, especially the coconut oil, are antifungal. You might try making baby wipes instead of using store bought ones for a while. You can use Bounty napkins, a roll of Job Squad towels cut in half, or even reusable washclothes for this. Put them into a sturdy plastic box with a lid. Mix some Burt's Bees baby soap (shave a good amount in), coconut oil (3 Tbsp), and 2 cups of hot water together and pour over the napkins. Hope that helps!|||You could have problems with yeast. Have you tried Lotrimin? If it's yeast, the diaper rash creams could be fighting off her good bacteria needed to fight the bad.
I would try that and more "airing out" time.|||How old is your daughter? How long is she in a wet diaper? You might consider leaving the diaper off for a little while so she can "air dry." Make sure you are changing her often and she is not sitting in her urine. Is she drinking a lot of acidic juices?|||strong urine or alot of loose stools. also if they sit in a diaper to long like at night some skins are more sensitive to that. try putting baby corn starch on her to see if that helps. its sold with the baby powders. there is also one your dr. can perscribe that works well. good luck|||It could also be allergies to milk or the diapers. Those are the most common ones that causes diaper rash. Also may be soap or super sensitive skin. My youngest can only use pampers. My olderst could only have huggies. And my middle could only use loves and all three were intolerent to milk. A common rash is fungus or yeast. Lotramin will help or perscription from dr. Bring it to the dr's attention.|||My son has sensitive skin, and his diaper area gets extremely inflamed when he has a bowel movement following spaghetti, pizza, or anything with tomato sauce.
I tried all of the "rash" treatments for babies, but none of them had any affect. It wasn't really a rash as much as it looked like a chemical burn where his skin reacted to the acid from the tomatoes.
It is too hard to avoid tomato sauce since it is in all of his favorite foods. He doesn't have any other side affects - just his bottom after the bowel movement. So I got creative when he was crying yet again about his diaper area hurting. I found a burn relief gel with Lidocaine at Walmart and used a small amount on him. Within 10 minutes, he was playing normally - and even scooting around on his butt like it didn't hurt anymore. After 4 treatments, the "burn" was completely healed.
Please check with your doctor to find out if it is a rash, yeast infection, or something else entirely. Just keep listening to your instincts that something is wrong that a traditional "rash" cream hasn't helped.
Good luck.|||Quite often it's just being in a peed or dirty diaper for too long.
We used cloth diapers, and had no problems with diaper rash even when we went to disposables at 8 mos, because we were in the habit of changing often.
Did you try Penaten cream?|||Try a better diaper brand. My daughter is the same way she can only wear the expensive diapers or she will get a rash. change persistently. Let your daughters bottom air out as often as possible by leaving off her diaper for 20 min after each change also a quick wash off with water in the tub after each change helps sooooo much. I hope you solve the issues a rash can cause alot if irritation and irritability.
