It kinda looks like chub rub almost, but she was in jeans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rug-burn-like-rash#post-2637315 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 17:33:11 +0000 travellingbee 2637315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get any answers? I'd probably use some diaper cream and see if that helped... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rug-burn-like-rash#post-2636949 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 13:25:08 +0000 Banana330 2636949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So yesterday my DD was home with my mom for pink eye. She's on antibiotic eye drops. At some point yesterday she got a rash on the backs of her legs where her diaper hits below her bum. It's bright red and looks like rug burn. Could this be from her jeans/diaper rubbing while playing or something else? Has anyone seen this before? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227457 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 09:06:14 +0000 drjolene 2227457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of coconut oil from the nasty food reaction type diaper rashes so far. I feel like the organic, cold pressed variety works faster for my little guy. Slather up that butt, be generous with it. I feel your pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227248 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 21:54:12 +0000 MrsRcCar 2227248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: I am hoping the doctor will give us some new ideas tomorrow when we see him. N fell asleep kinda early but he didn't nap today poor kid is exhausted. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227102 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 18:06:40 +0000 Jess1483 2227102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: when my guy was tiny, he had an awful acid burn diaper rash. Our doc suggested mylanta on a cotton ball and using cotton balls for the wiping. It really helped neutralize things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227092 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 17:35:54 +0000 MrsRcCar 2227092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: we both got glutened him just way worse then me. :( He is still drinking so we just have to wait it out. </p> <p>@meesker: those all sound like great options expect the diaper free time. He doesn't like to not be covered. He says it hurts. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227068 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 16:31:00 +0000 meesker 2227068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my daughter has had bad reactions to food, she has had nonstop mucus diarrhea and her butt also looked like acid burn. Changing her was causing her so much pain, but we had to do it to stop things from getting worse, yah know? </p> <p>So what we did, that worked, and may work for you, is every time she pooed, I took her to the bathroom, took her diaper off standing up, put her in the tub (standing up) and used the sprayer attachment and warm water to get the poo off her bum. Then, if she would tolerate, I would use my hand and water and a very gentle cleanser (no washcloth) to rub any residue off and rinsed with the sprayer. Then after everything was sprayed down the drain, I would fill the tub with a few inches water to let her squat and soak and play. After a few minutes, we got out and did 10-30 minutes diaper free time before putting the diaper and a ton of butt paste on her bottom. We did this until the diarrhea and the skin was healed. It felt like we spent a week doing nothing but baths, but it did work and it made changes as painless as possible for her while she healed. Pee changes were just a diaper swap, extra butt paste, no wiping so no abrasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2227015 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 14:44:56 +0000 hellobeeboston 2227015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: ugh. I HATE when I get glutened. If you know for sure that's what it was I think you just need to wait it out a bit :( bland plain food, lots of water, rest. Maybe some pain reliever to help if he has a tummy ache? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2226958 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:06:19 +0000 brownie 2226958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor baby. If he is drinking, I wouldn't worry about food too much. Try a clear liquid diet. For diaper free time, we do prefolds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2226956 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 13:01:48 +0000 MrsRcCar 2226956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I talked to his doctor yesterday. The rash and such weren't as bad yesterday. I am not sure what the doctor would recommend we have just started with him. We are slotted to see the doctor tomorrow plus blood work. That's already going to be hard. :crying:<br /> I just feel so helpless. Nothing is helping and N refuses to be diaper free right now. Our new doctor has been so wonderful this far. I would like it to stay that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2226953 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:55:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2226953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call his doctor today. He sounds miserable. Is the doctor likely to send him to the ER for every little thing? </p> <p>Sorry the poor guy is going through this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/paging-dr-hellobee-2#post-2226945 Sun, 05 Jul 2015 12:38:36 +0000 MrsRcCar 2226945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>N has been miserable since yesterday morning. Friday night at dinner he was accidentally "glutened" while we were out to eat. We are generally extremely cautious, I feel terrible about it. Fast forward to today he is screaming and writhing in pain with every single diaper change. It looks like an acid burn on his bottom and his tummy is swollen. He has wicked runny butt we are talking loads more diapers. He has zero interest in eating but is drinking like crazy. </p> <p>What do you do? Wait until tomorrow to see the ped? Take to the children's hospital today? It takes two people to change him and he just shakes and screams the whole time. I feel terrible. :sad:</p> <p>ETA: we do have the ped's private cell phone number, I just hate to bother him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2212502 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 15:43:40 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2212502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: I'm 95% sure it isn't yeast. It doesn't look anything like the photos I've seen of yeast rashes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2212423 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:27:12 +0000 Crisark 2212423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Triple paste!!! Three kids and I've tried it all, and that's by far the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211745 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 00:56:38 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2211745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll third the Desitin (purple). We've had two really bad diaper rashes and that was the only thing that worked well. Butt paste didn't at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211725 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 22:45:21 +0000 lady grey 2211725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Extra strength desitin! Also if the rash is not going away it could be yeast. Yeast in the diaper rash area usually look spotted or speckled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211671 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 21:02:35 +0000 Smurfette 2211671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the best stuff ever! Layered with aquaphor it will clear up a bad rash in no time. Triple paste works but she was getting yeast rashes, the paste made it worse, so we stopped using it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Calmoseptine-Diaper-Rash-Ointment-Tube/dp/B000GOVYE6" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Calmoseptine-Diaper-Rash-Ointment-Tube/dp/B000GOVYE6</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211665 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 20:54:16 +0000 ShootingStar 2211665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has had some awful rashes from thrush, then antibiotics. What works for us is:</p> <p>- Cloth wipes or wash cloths instead of regular baby wipes<br /> - A&amp;D ointment as a protective barrier<br /> - baking soda in the bath<br /> - Oatmeal in the bath (either ground up, or stuck in a sock or pantyhose). </p> <p>I think the oatmeal was the most helpful in actually healing his skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211590 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:48:31 +0000 Canoli 2211590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: agreed! By far the best and quickest we have found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211527 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 18:00:12 +0000 ellewoods84 2211527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for triple paste. It's the best. Clears any rash up within the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211522 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:47:20 +0000 SweetiePie 2211522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tummy time without a diaper (use a changing pad or a few blankets for accidents) and triple paste. Boudreaux did nothing for us but triple paste healed in a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211509 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:11:40 +0000 msplatypus 2211509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aquahor, but when it was a yeast rash we got a prescription for nystatin and put it on first then the aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211503 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:07:42 +0000 MusicaV 2211503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you nursing? Breastmilk always cleared it up the fastest for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211488 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 16:43:15 +0000 hilsy85 2211488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>triple paste with a layer of aquaphor over it worked best for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211412 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:24:34 +0000 clover 2211412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Triple Paste which is similar to what you're already using. For our diaper free time I would put down chux pads (or puppy pads would work I suppose) on top of his blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211368 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 15:01:13 +0000 Bubbles 2211368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is inconvenient but I found the absolute best thing is nappy free time. Easier with a non mobile LO of course! This was the only thing that worked for my DS when he has a terrible rash as a newborn. I also did oat baths which I still do now for his excema, I think that helped soothe the rash. We have a cream called metanium but I think it's probably only on sale in the UK. Also using water wipes or cotton wool and water, as normal baby wipes can irritate it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211358 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 14:55:45 +0000 edelweiss 2211358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: yeah, i put my LO on an activity mat, thinking that it would catch any pee and i could wash it--10 seconds later i saw a puddle of pee sitting right outside the edge of the activity mat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211352 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 14:50:14 +0000 sweetooth 2211352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Desitin and really paste it on. It seems to work well! We had luck with the butt paste too.</p> <p>I recall reading about the "diaper free time" that @edelweiss: mentioned. But I never understood how I could let my little guy run around naked without the chance of him peeing everywhere. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diaper-rash-remedies-1#post-2211344 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 14:47:18 +0000 edelweiss 2211344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you could try some diaper free time (putting her on a blanket that you don't mind getting peed on). it might be a yeast infection since it sounds like it's persistent, you may want to call the nurse's line at your ped's office.</p> <p><a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_yeast-diaper-rash_10913.bc" rel="nofollow">http://www.babycenter.com/0_yeast-diaper-rash_10913.bc</a></p> <p>i've also heard of people trying a baking soda bath (scroll down):</p> <p><a href="http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/tc/diaper-rash-home-treatment" rel="nofollow">http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/tc/diaper-rash-home-treatment</a></p> <p>we usually use desitin max strength (in the purple tube) which worked for us, but i imagine that the butt paste would be about the same. hope she feels better soon! </p>
