How-to identify and treat nappy rash

For new mums that might not know the telltale signs of nappy rash, here’s what to look for:
The skin around your baby’s genitalia will look red and inflamed
Your baby may be particularly irritable at nappy change time or on contact with bath water
Your bub may be generally more unsettled and irritable than usual
There are many nappy rash creams on the market to choose from. They can be bought from your local supermarket or pharmacy. Some popular ones include Bepanthen, Curash Medicated Nappy Rash Cream and Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream.
If your chosen nappy rash cream doesn’t appear to be healing your baby’s nappy rash within four to five days, ask your local pharmacist to recommend a medicated cream.
Nappy rash can be really painful for babies, especially severe nappy rash, it’s important to keep your baby’s bottom clean and dry.

Nappy rash is the worse - Sudocrem works really well or any other with zinc!

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

I am so thankful my kids did not suffer with much nappy rash. It was mainly when they started teething.

I find that natural is the best. Every morning after his big sleep, I would give him nappy free time and give his bottom a wipe with just water to remove any traces from the previous nights #1. Also if it has been a particularly sweaty humid period, I would also use a hair dryer on cool setting of course to dry the area to make sure that the skin is not too moist. Of course a layer of Sudo cream prior to putting the nappy back on. I find that since I have done this routine, my little man has not had a case of nappy rash. Another thing I do is , after using those baby wipes after a #2, I would also wipe the area with water.

Nappy rash looks very irritating. My sis uses Sudocrem to soothe nappy rash on my niece.

Love that idea Megan146. When my son had it I stopped using babywipes - they are the worst thing for nappy rash. Instead use cotton balls with warm water. I used the Bepanthen ointment cream and that worked wonders at repelling moisture.

I tried many different products for my son when he got bad nappy rash and none of them helped at all (lucas paw paw ointment, bepanthen, etc). One day of of my Mum's friends suggested that an age old remedy is to use cornflour at every nappy change. The reason why nappy rash forms is due to trapped moisture. It worked a dream and I would recommend it to anybody. My son's nappy rash improved almost instantly and was gone completely within 2 days. I now use cornflour on him every nappy change and then put Sudocreme on the top as a barrier cream. He hasn't had a spot of nappy now for around 9-10 months.

One of my twins suffered badly from nappy rash, I found the fastest and most effective treatment was tea tree ointment, and using warm cloths to clean followed by viva paper towels to dry!

My Daughter had nappy rash constantly. I found besides using Curash cream allowing her to have nappy free time for an hour a day helped keep nappy rash at bay.

I would never use Lucas Pawpaw ointment when there is a much kinder option of Pure Nutraceuticals pawpaw ointment which does not contain nasty pertochemicals.

Where I live has a older chemist and my son kept getting nappy rash really bad. He put us onto resolve (over the counter for tinea) then when the rash went canastan cream to keep it at bay and then a water proofer we loved curash it went on thick and easy. Also he was having alot of apple juice we had to stop this as it was very acidic and was making the problem worse

My mother in law swears by zinc cream, any cream containing zinc apparently works wonders and apparently that is where Sudocream originally came from.

my 18month old hasn't had nappy rash ONCE by doing the following: -using sorbalene on tissues instead of wipes (unless for poos) -giving him regular nappy free time -NOT using talcum powder (my midwife strongly advised against using this on their bottoms as the chemicals & fragrance aren't good for their sensitive skin) -using bepanthen every few nappy changes as a preventative

Dear Platinum Ms, you may be thinking of Junglebrolly HandShield (sold at Chemists). It's a natural barrier cream and remains protecting even with repeated washing and contact with water, therefore it is perfect for nappy rash as it allows the skin to heal and breath naturally

As a naturopath, I prefer to use natural based creams, eg vitamin E with a calendula infused oil and perhaps some zinc. And I think about why is bubs getting a rash in the first place- do nappies need changing more regularly, etc.
