Nappy Rash - Learnt something new

I found that if you use a fungal cream, bactraban, any good bum cream (I usually use Sudocream or Bennetts Bum cream) and Antipoel all mixed together that usually clears the rash quickly.

thanks for sharing the tip. I wrote it down, and it's going on my pin-up board, mmm...friends visiting might think it's a bit weird....nappyrash = medaspor!

It made me think of those posts where moms often berate the daycare of the MIL who looks after their baby and maybe that they are not paying sufficient attention to their baby.

Isabelle is alone with our nanny, the nanny probably takes better care of her than I would, is very attentive, so it made me think that sometimes nappy rash just occurs.

I also realised that I took my daughter for immunisation last Monday and plus she had her two big front teeth come through last week, so possibly it was the combination of both of these things that just set off a bum rash reaction.

Shame poor little bum. Troy's was just there spots all the time. Nappy rash freaks me out too. I always think I am neglecting my child somehow if he gets it. Silly I know but that thought is stuck in my head...

Jems - exactly, a little tube at your local pharmacy prevents all the pain and strain and a visit to the doctor.

When I looked at the rash, I thought this is probably the worst I have seen, so I will stop at the chemist, but odds are I am going to end up at the GP the next day as it looks like her bum flesh is sliding off her bum ... and voila ... look what a little tube can do.

I love being surprised this far into my "golden" years.

RM I had the same thing happen to me and discovered Medaspor too! I always used to use Bepanthan if Jade happened to get a little red spot - worked wonders but she hardly suffered. Then with Troy he got this persistant rash and took to paed and she told me there are 2 types of rashes. By the following day it too was gone! Amazing! And medaspor is like R20 a tube. Yay!

Medaspor Cream - that was the stuff. I sort of stood there and thought to myself "as if this is going to work..." but figured it could not get worse that it was.

Clever chemist!!
