Bees!
I need your help. N has a rash on his bottom. 
We aren't 100% sure what has happened for him to get this rash. A couple places are extremely red and raw. We have been putting A&D ointment on it just to get a barrier on his bottom.
The only thing we can think that caused it has we introduced dairy over the weekend.
Help?!? I guess I just want his bottom to feel better.

Do you cloth diaper? DD had a bad rash once that came on pretty quickly - it was due to her diapers retaining detergent and irritating her skin.

@Chastenet: Nope. We use disposables. There haven't been an recent changes with his diapers either. I am sort of puzzled. The best we can figure out is that it was diary related.

Triple paste has been the best cream we've found...I do a thick thick layer of triple paste and then top it with aquaphor. I hope he feels better!

@MrsRcCar: Are there any bumps at all? Is it possible that it's a yeast infection? If there's any chance it's yeast, something like coconut oil or aquaphor will only make it worse!
What's worked for us when Xander has diaper rash is just REALLY make sure that it's dry before we put any diaper rash cream or his diaper back on! I keep a cloth on the changing table so I can pat him dry after I change him and then I'll lather him with Desitin and put the diaper on him.
If you think it might be an allergy or something, you could also try using cortisone oitment to help clear it up. Xander has eczema and sometimes he'll get it on his bottom and we'll use cortisone oitment, which seems to work well. But I only put it on his butt cheeks.

@Adira: Interesting! I've always heard that coconut oil was a natural anti fungal and was a good choice for yeast rashes unless they are very severe.

@Beyond2: Oh, really?? I could be wrong about that! I just thought coconut oil was too much of a moisturizer, so could help yeast grow. But I could be totally wrong about that!
