Aquaphor & Mylanta for Diaper Rash????

I read in either Parents or Babytalk that you can use a mixture of Eucerin Aquaphor and Mylanta on diaper rash and that it works great. Has anyone ever tried this? I'm about at my wits end with a never ending diaper rash on my daughter. It will go away for a day or two and then comes right back.

Help with Eczema and an Allergist for My One Year Old in the Tampa Area

My little girl (15 months) has eczema all over her back, chest and tummy. It first appeared when she was on antibiotics, getting worse with each course of antibiotics that she took for chronic ear infections. (has recently had tubes in her ears, so hoping antibiotics will now be out of the picture) The eczema flares if she eats even the smallest amount of dairy and or eggs. I'm unable to get rid of the current flare up to be sure if there are any other triggers for her eczema. By the end of the day or if we spend any time out in this humid...

Diaper Rash with Cloth Diapers

I've been using cloth diapers for several months with no problems. I recently switched to seventh generation laundry detergent and I believe that my kids are allergic (they both broke out in hives after I switched). At the same time as the hives, my son also got a terrible diaper rash. I was using Ecos laundry detergent and everything was fine. I stopped using Seventh generation and switched back to Ecos. I washed all the diapers in Ecos with an extra rinse and in the meantime used disposable and the rash went away. A few days with cloth...

Allergy Testing for 13 Month Old

My 13 month old has severe excema on his head and face. At our last doctor visit (last week) my doctor suggested that we get him tested for allergies to see if that would help his excema. His excema is really bad and he constantly itches it and cuts himeself on his scalp. We are using a steroid right now and I would hate to continue to use it so that he is comfortable. So I am asking if anyone has had their toddler allergy tested and what does it entail? Was it painful? I am thinking it is a good idea because if it is an allergen we...

1 Year Old with Eczema and a Peanut Allergy

I have a 1 year old son who has had severe eczema since birth. 3 months ago he had a severe allergic reaction to what we believe to have been a peanut. I took him to a Dermatologist when he was about 7 months old and they said he had eczema. The Dr. gave me a steroid ointment called Desonide and said he believed he would grow out of it. He is still having problems with eczema and he is 14 months. If I do not put the Desonide on him the rash will spread and under his ear lobes and behind his knees will crack and bleed. Does this sound...

Aquaphor, Eczema and Bum Genius Diapers

My son has severe eczema on his entire body and sometimes we are applying Aquaphor 3 times (or more) a day. I was told by Bum Genius reps that this cream would affect the absorbency of my Bum Genius diapers. I have been using Pampers but really want to cloth diaper. My son does not have a reaction to the diapers. It is more the issue of the diapers having a reaction to the creams I am using on his skin. Any suggestions? 1. Has anyone used Bum Genius AND used Aquaphor type creams and been successful in continuing to use the...
