Sigh.
Brought Chloe to see doc again this noon due to the unsolvable diaper rashes. The rashes come and go for about 3 weeks and has gotten really bad yesterday, her cries & whimpers kill me. Just when I thought the doc could maybe prescribe an effective cream or balm that can instantly relieve her pain, he asked me to take it easy instead. He assured me that there really is nothing alarming; most of the babies in MY get diaper rashes while they're teething due to the hot and humid weather and well, he has seen worse (of course lah doctor, I'm not comparing my baby to the worst case you've ever treated here, just hoping to figure out a way that can make her feel better). So, as helpless as it sounds, I was given a zinc oxide cream which I've already been using all these while (the Burt's Bees & Aveeno diaper rash creams) and was advised to sit back, relax and enjoy the motherhood because she'll soon outgrow it.
Sigh.
Dear resourceful and experienced mamas, what else can I do? I've tried different types of nappy creams & ointments and ever since she moved to MY, I've been bathing her every day without fail (once or twice a day). She's also wearing washable cloth diaper during day time and MamyPoko is the only disposable diaper that I put her on at night. Oh, the laundry detergent that I'm using is called NappiKleen but I really don't think that causes the problem. No wipes or wet tissues are used as she has real sensitive skin, only wet & dry wash cloths.
Any suggestions? I'm such a lame mama... I feel like I've shifted a penguin from the South Pole and forcing it to survive the extreme weather in the tropical country :'(
S.O.S,
Bev

try huggies pants..
may i suggest Daktozin miconazole ointment? It contains zinc oxide which serves as barrier cream to uric acid. Most common nappy rash is due to repetitive contact with uric acid (from urine). Nappy rash is a form of fungal infection - miconazole can address the problem. hope it helps!
Densitin is the best to ease diaper rash, not sure can be found in M'sia

My daughter uses Bepanthen ointment, it is good and very effective to solve her diaper rash, you may try.
Maybe you can try Pot of Gold, my Eva using that and I saw good comment online too :)
Yes..Bepanthen is good. Try washing her bottom with just water without any baby bath lotion..etc. Also, if at home, you can just undress and let her be naked for a while.
Hi, u may try mario badescu control cream. My boy has face rashes due to teething & this really helped. Bt is kinda expensive for diaper area...
My son had a very bad diaper rash once. I know those heartbreaking cries too well. This was what I did for my little one.
Pat dry his diaper area everytime I changed his diaper before applying the cream. I used hydrocortisone. Then powdered (I used Aiken) around the diaper area to keep it dry and made sure the diaper isn't tight. Changed his diaper every 2-3hours. When he poop, I wash with warm water instead of wiping so I don't irritate the rash further.
During his bath time, I bath him in chamomile tea to soothe the rash, twice a day. I did all this for over a week and it got better day by day until the rash was gone.
Since that incident, I have developed a phobia for diaper rash. So I really hope your little one's rash will go away soon. Good luck.
了解你的无助。
目前我4个月大的糖糖，屁股还好。
根据糖糖儿科医生说最好的方式是用清水洗屁股+尽量让rashes的地方通风,因为这里的气候太热和潮湿。
所以短时间内更换尿布+每次更换尿布时尽量让屁股通风和干爽是让宝宝好过点的方式。
当然少不了cream + oilment的帮助。我让糖糖用着Sebamed Diaper Rash Cream which her pediatrician said it's okie for it.
Try more frequent diaper change, and wash with water during every diaper change instead of wiping with wet cloth/wipes. Also make sure you pat dry before apply any cream or ointment. Hope this will help. 加油！
我孩子还好。不算是敏感的皮肤。可是我发现，只要他多尿就会有nappy rash了。就算尿片吸水性多好，都会有。可是情况不算严重。如果没什么尿，尿片包上半天没换也不会有nappy rash。我觉得mia111说的可以参考一下。我是发觉尿才是弄到敏感的原因，尿片还是其次。市面上的尿片都很好了。你不妨试下勤换尿片，勤洗宝宝下体。就算尿片换了，屁股部分还有尿液残留，红疹很容易到回来的。差不多8个月这样，宝宝可以stand with support我就常带他进厕所洗屁股，我自己也顶不顺那些尿，感觉很不舒服。现在也没什么发现nappy rash了。
我的儿子八个月大，也是有尿湿疹。原本用mamy poko, 现在试换用Huggies total protection, 有明显的好多了。
It could be the diapers. U can try to use Sebamed baby bath for sensitive skin.
Since she's able to sit now. I would suggest you to let her pees in the potty and just wearing cloth diaper (prevention). So this way she is dry most of the time.
嗨！妳好，
妳的情况我也曾经面对过，当时的我带着孩子看了好多医生，没一个药膏能真正有效。当时的我有多心疼孩子的痛啊！后来很幸运有位有经验的妈妈叫我用木薯粉(Tapioca flour)，就当爽身粉一样用，用powder puff来沾粉拍上皮肤就可以了，药膏就不需要再用了。效果真的是意外的好。只要有换尿片或洗屁屁后一定要拍上粉，只要一天你就可以看到分别。
我一直用到孩子长大，rashes都没再生过了,不只经济而且非常好用。真的打破我对这种偏方，不妨试试！
Luv,Christy Ee
