Severe Diaper Rash

My 16 month old was sick. We went to the dr and was given a medication to take at bedtime (once a day). It has given her a little diahrea. I have changed her as quickly as I know that she has dirtied them. It isn't constantly, but usually in the morning I will change her about 4 or 5 times in a 20 minute period. It is like the medicine has made her poop very acidic and it is eating the skin off her. She is in pain. I will put new diapers on her and she will grab at the diapers and whine. She hyperventilates just to get them changed and...

My 20yrs. old, niece just had a son. He's 4 wks old. She is a first time single mom and she takes very good care of him, but she has a few concerns.

Not Pooping, a Vicious Cycle

So my little guy, 2 1/2, has been going through this cycle and it's making us all crazy. He is holding his poop. Frequent diaper changes are irritating his bum. I have tried just about every diaper cream under the sun and they work for a while, then diaper rash is back. Can't leave him bare to dry out for too long as we have accidents. As diaper rash gets worse, holding poop is worse. He is not constipated, as the poo is not pebbly, so that's not my concern. I have put him on the potty with minor success, but he wails and cries the whole...

Severe Diaper Rash During Flu

My son who is 15 months old has had the flu for about 4 or 5 days now and has awful and I mean really awful diaper rash from all the diarrea he has had. What can I do to help clear it up and make it less painful. I am using just a spray bottle of warm water and paper towels to clean his bottom & was putting on generic Desitin but that doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice would be appreciate as we are both miserable and the doctor can't see us until next week.

Rash, Rash, Rash!!!!!

Where do I begin? I took Bella into the pediatrician's office for what I thought was sever diaper rash. Her doctor sent me home with medication for a yeast infection and Thrush. We used Monistat and Nystatin for a week, it didn't work. So I took her back to the doctor's office, they then sent me home Lotrimon and another dose of Nystatin. Another week went by, went back to the Dr's. office and they say that she doesn't have a diaper rash nor a yeast infection, it is now Exzema in the diaper area. The next week Bella got really sick...
