D has gotten a few doozies lately (we think too many berries/acidic fruit), and what worked for us was the extra strength Boudreaux Butt Paste (in the red tube). We smear on a thick layer of that and put him in disposables for a couple of days, and it clears right up. Good luck. They are so sad and miserable with a diaper rash.

We use Butt Paste and I'll never use anything else ever again! I wish I would have known about it with my first two. It's a life savor.

@kjpugs: I've never had to use the extra strength but I heard it is amazing. Also, if it's that bad, I 'd call and insist that the Pedi call in something Rx strength.

Triple Paste and diaper free time if possible always worked for us!

We are dealing with our first bout of diarrhea and diaper rash right now due to teething I think. I was using creamy desitine or aquaphor but ran out of both and got the max strength desitine and it has helped a lot! I just have to make sure to change her right away and really slather it on.

We have had some really bad ones.... Like almost open sore bad. We stop using wipes and use only cloth with water or viva paper towels and water. Then I make up a cream with a&d, milk of magnesia, and an anti fungal, use it every change, and it helps so much so fast! Also change her frequently and make sure her little bottom and lady parts are totally dry before re diapering.

@lawbee11: Triple Paste worked for us too. Barely used anything else after it was recommended by doctor. We also did no diaper time for diaper rashes. No judging here!

@kjpugs: we have been dealing with the same situation this week. DH and I felt terrible for her, her bottom was so red and looked so painful. Pretty sure it was caused by a huge escalation in number of poops. We were up to 10 a day plus a poop overnight which wasn't helping. It's finally clearing up after 3 days. We use a thin layer of Sudacrem and Vaseline. We make sure she is totally dry before putting anything on and use warm wash cloths to clean her. We also give diaper free time as much as possible. We were doing it in her crib on a towel but then we were doing a ton of laundry. Now we just let her roam around on our wood floor and clean up after her. I also gave her bananas to help with the pooping issues.

Good luck, it's heartbreaking

@redsmarties: did oatmeal baths help? I remember reading about it somewhere but have never tried. Do you just put in rolled oats?

@kjpugs: we were just at the doctor for this yesterday. She didn't poop as much as your LO. Our pedi suggested this stuff. I got at walgreens. Was in the adult diaper section. I had to have someone find it for me. It was $10.99 for the tube. R's rash was much better this morning and looks better now since day care caught the poops early.

This stuff. Seriously. THE. BEST. We've gone through everything. Triple Paste. Sudocrem. Butt Paste. Desitin. A&D. This stuff is the only stuff that helps when she gets severe diaper rash... which she does every time she gets new tooth.

You have to order it. It's a British product and not available in the US, but you can get it on Amazon.

Also, Lotrimin.

Ask at the pharmacy for something OTC.
Also, how old is she? Have you tried giving her probiotics? We got a powder one that can be mixed with juice that really helped the diarrhea, which helped with the rash.

We also like Lil Goats rash cream. It's got a super high zinc content, so that helps in the early stages.
