The doctor also suggested switching to soy formula to rule out a dairy allergy, which I'm more hesitant to try along with everything else in case there's a soy allergy too, but I guess it's worth a shot. I just assumed she'd have more symptoms if it was food related, but maybe not. I'll try anything at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-wont-go-away-and-spreading#post-1356252 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:30:32 +0000 septca 1356252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any ideas about allergies, although I think it's worth getting her tested, but re: the rash itself - have you tried coconut oil? DD has a terrible yeast diaper rash recently and none of the medicated yeast treatments did anything. Coconut oil at every diaper change cleared it up in a matter of days... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-wont-go-away-and-spreading#post-1356201 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:17:15 +0000 Mamaof2 1356201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anything else changed? laundry soap? pet hair? new clothes?<br /> 3 weeks is a long time!</p> <p>If it has gotten worse since you started solids I might back off on that until you see the derm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-wont-go-away-and-spreading#post-1356177 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:11:54 +0000 BeansyBee 1356177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FF (dairy) and yes, she started solids, but a few days after the rash appeared. It has definitely gotten worse since then though so I haven't ruled out a food allergy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-wont-go-away-and-spreading#post-1356134 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 10:01:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1356134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she BF or FF?<br /> Has she started solids yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-wont-go-away-and-spreading#post-1356117 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 09:57:41 +0000 BeansyBee 1356117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi Everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster :)</p> <p>My 6 month old daughter has had a rash for going on 3 weeks. She has had a yeast rash around her neck and chest from drool in the past and Nystatin was able to very slowly clear that up. This time, the rash is all over her body--neck, chest, arms, legs, back, and now her face. The only area it doesn't seem to be reaching is her diaper area. Our pediatrician believes it looks like yeast to her, albeit a pretty bad case, and has prescribed Nystatin--the ointment and powder--and an oral Diflucan. So far, nothing has worked and it's only gotten worse. It doesn't seem to bother her too much though and no fever or any other symptoms. </p> <p>We have an appointment with a pediatric dermatologist next week but I'm wondering if any of you have experienced a rash like this, what was causing it (ie. could it be a milk/food/detergent allergy thing?), and what you used to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be helpful! </p>
