Help - My 13 Month Old Has a Bad Diaper Rash!

My 13 month old daughter developed a sudden diaper rash with two very raw areas that look like popped blisters (approx 2 cm in diameter)right where her bottom cheeks meet. Otherwise the bottom is red rashy looking. She has only had a little rash once before in her life, which healed completely within a few days. This is the fourth day of this and I'm starting to wonder if it is more complicated than just diaper rash. Any thoughts or advise on how to care for this. She doesn't act like it is hurting her much, but it really looks...

Help W/ Eczema on 6 Month

My 6 month old has had a rash in the creases of her arms and behind her knees for nearly 5 months now. The doctor said it's eczema and to just put lotion on it, but its really bothering her now. She tries to itch it with her hand and feet any chance she gets, and now shes starting to cry when she does itch it. Its bright red and super dry. Is she too young to use cortizone cream on it? Does any one have a simple remedy? Help, were desperate!

19 Month Old Girl with Rash

Hi everyone, I got up early and tried to back track through some old postings but did not find anything. My grand daughter has had a very red and bumpy rash. I called the nurse and she said it was yeast and that I should go and buy some Lotrimin and use that. That is what I did the rash was still there at the end of the day when my daughter came to pick her up. It is still red and irritated this morning as she arrived back. I am thinking Lotrimin is not doing the job. I am going to try a baking soda bath now and add a pro-biotic to...

Natural Remedies for Red, Itchy Rash

My 21 month old boy has this large red rash on his bum/lower back.

The red areas are slightly raised and some areas are peeling. We are letting him run around with out his diaper as much as possible and we use Seventh Generation diapers so I know it isn't a sensitivity to his diaper. So, far we have just been using Earth's Best diaper rash onitment. I am wondering if any one has...

I have a 13 month old son who has had lots of problems with asthma. The first time he was hospitalized for it he was only 7 weeks old and it has been an on going battle ever since.

Relief from Yeast Infection

Talked to doctor and was prescribed diflucan (had 2 doses, 7 days apart) which didn't clear up infection. Now using otc monistat 7 for yeast infection, but itching is unbearable. Vagisil helps for brief few hours but the itching is constant all day and night. I started eating yogurt and taking a Culturelle pill daily. Does anyone have any suggestions/medications/remedies to help alleviate the itching until the infection is gone?

19 Month Old with Yeast Infection

My 19 month old girl was on antiboitics for three weeks for her ear infection. Now she has a yeast infection. Her diaper is irritating her and she now has red bumps and pulls at her diaper. Her pediatrician said to put on an anti fungal twice a day and give her yogurt with live cultures (which she has always had daily). Has anyone had to treat this? Is there anything else I should or shouldn't do? I can only imagine how uncomfortable she is. Thanks.

9 Month Old's Sore Bottom

My 9 month old has an extremely sore bottom. He is teething and has been having frequent bowel movements that are somewhat liquidy. Consequently he has been getting sore. The soreness is no longer just reddened, there are actually sores. It looks painful. :( I am looking for ANY suggestions. I have tried neosporin, baby powder, baby oil, zinc oxide ointment, bathing each time he poops. Diaper wipes seem to have made it exceedingly irritated. Thank you much....Jeannie

Very Dry Skin on Our 4-Month-old Daughter's Face

Our poor baby! She's been having ongoing trouble with skin on her forehead, cheeks, and chin that's so dry that it flakes off and/or gets yellow and crusty. We've been slathering on Aquaphor at night and Eucerin all day, and we use a 1% hydrocortisone cream when it gets really red and angry looking, but any improvements are temporary. Neither my DH or I have any family history with eczema, and she's still breast feeding exclusively, so it's not likely to be a food allergy. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? We're wondering if...
