Severe Diaper Rash During Flu

My daughter is almost 3 in May and my sister recommended Triple Paste cream when she was just a baby. She has only had 1 really bad rash and the triple paste cleared it up in 2 days. It is really thick and creamy and seems to work really well. Hope it works for you. You can find it at any store where they have Desitin.

My daughter had really bad diaper rash as well. My doctor told me to use 3 different things in layers: 1st put Bactroban Cream (you can get this from your doctor), 2nd put Lotrimen AF (not sure if I spelled that right?..it's foot cream) 3rd put on Johnson and Johnson 3 in 1 diaper rash cream. It clears up really quick!!!

Make a runny paste with malox (or mylanta)and corn starch. You don't want it to be too runny, but a little is good b/c you don't have to rub too hard to spread it around. Also top it off with straight corn starch (I bought a powder shaker from walmart, the holes are big enough to let the powder come through). Corn starch is a good healer. If you have a blow dryer that can blow cool air, blow dry your sons bottom before applying the medication. Sometimes a different brand of diaper can help too. Something else that I do is rotate medications. Different rash meds seem to work better on different rashes. Sometimes you just have to go by trial and error to find the right one and it may not work on the next one.

Go get Maalox and Aqua Phor cream. Then mix equal parts (less on the maalox really) in the microwave just for a few seconds, let it cool. This is MIRACLE CREAM! The maalox takes the burn out and keeps his rear protected and the aqua phor soothes and his skin. You can store it in a small bottle or plastic container! My Pediatrician gave me this recipe for my daughter. It worked wonders!

when my son had a diaper rash and desitin didnt work my doctor recommended "triple paste". I've seen at target and babies r us, or your pharmacist can order it for you. It cleared his rash up within a day or so. It is about 10.00 or so. I hope this helps your son.

K. - I have had more than my fair share of kids with diaper rashes (I have four kiddo's) and the things that seem to work best are a little pricey, but SO WORTH IT!!! The cream that I get that works WONDERS is a cream that you can get at just about any Wallgreens or CVS store - it's called TRIPPLE PASTE MEDICATED OINTMENT - it treats AND prevents problem diaper rash. I usually only use it when the kids start getting a diaper rash, but I discovered it when my littlest one was on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection, and we all know how much terrible diahrea the antibiotics cause! Anyway - this paste is AMAZING and it works wonders... you'll start to see an improvement in just a few hours... and by the following day you'll see it almost disappear - no matter how terrible the rash is! It's worth giving it a shot! Good luck :)
