Is It an Allergy Rash, Hypersensitivity or What???

Hello ladies: I have a 61/2 mos old boy and I'm very concern. He has developed a terrible rash, on his little butt that at this point I'm not sure what it could be.

It mildly started about 2 mos ago and I took him to the pediatrician and she said to use hydrocortisone and if it continued she thought I would eventually either have to get a hypoallergenic diaper or use cloth diapers.

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

(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...

Allergies Going Haywire This Season. Help Please.

I have allergies and asthma. I take albuterol as needed for asthma attacks and I take Zyrtec only when needed for my allergies, I suffer through all but the worst of it because I hate taking medications and do so as little as possible, I don’t even take things like Tylenol unless I absolutely cannot stand the pain. I am breastfeeding. My doctor checked both and I checked Dr Hale's list and they are both listed as safe while breastfeeding. The problem is when I take the Zyrtec my poor nursling gets the worst diaper rashes and gets loose...
