DD just got a terrible diaper rash in her front area. She screams every time I try to wipe it, and I feel so terrible for her. This is the first time she's had a diaper rash, so I don't really know what to use. All we had was Aquaphor, but I'm not sure that it'll help with an actual rash. I'm going to go try to get some diaper cream after lunch. What are your recommended diaper rash creams and treatments?
-
Triple Paste! It works well and doesn't smell awful like some of the other creams.

Our ped said try not to use wipes if it's really bad, just wipe gently with water. We haven't had it that bad, but we use a combo of Destin (thick white paste), A+D and Aquaphor. The key for us is to make sure her all parts and creases are very dry (we use baby powder) and then then I try to let her bum air out for a lil bit after slathering on stuff.

Purple Desitin is the very best for bad rashes. The wipes can really sting, so I'll rinse them in the sink before using them.

Triple Paste!

i've heard good things about triple paste and boudreaux's butt paste. we use max strength desitin and have had good results with it. hope she feels better soon!
-
triple paste with a layer of aquaphor over it.

I liked triple paste or butt paste when it was bad.
But more importantly, switch to wet paper towels (just water) until it's all better. Wipes can really sting. In particular my D's gets a rash from pampers sensitive wipes so I never use them anymore.

I use the ava diaper cream and it works well for us - but agree with no wipes. OMG I used one to blow my nose once because it was handy and holy crap did it sting!! My nose was dry from blowing it and gosh. I use wet cloths when I need to, but neither girl has had a terrible rash in awhile.

Desitin works just fine for us. The key (for us) is to make sure the area is dry before applying the rash cream and closing the diaper. We keep a roll of paper towels next to our changing spot so we can pat dry the area after every diaper change. Definitely makes a world of difference!

Bordreaux's butt paste worked amazing for us!
-
I don't think daycare will use paper towels, but I just sent over triple paste so I hope that works. Thanks everyone!
-
We CD, so we can't use Triple Paste etc but CJ's Butt-er and Coconut Oil work great for us!
-
Dr. Smith's was recommended by both our ped and our nanny. It works very well for us.
-
I never even knew there were so many diaper creams! Are they not all made of the same ingredients?
-
Triple Paste is the best stuff ever invented!
-
I let her air-dry for a few when we change her I also let her play naked on a towel at times to get some air
