TRIPLE PASTE!!!!! My son had it so bad from a reaction to being on anti-biotics, that his little bum was raw and bleeding! Triple Paste is the only thing that worked and worked fast (within hours he no longer screamed when I changed him)! You should be able to get it at your neighborhood drugstore or CVS or Walmart. It is more exspensive but every mother should have a jar on had! Since it is pricey-I only use it when I see reddness beginning but I would get it immediatly
Good luck

Sounds like a yeast infection! My son had the same that diaper cream wouldnt take away. I took him to the dr and she said it was a yeast infection!!! They will give you a perscription for something .
It maybe yeast/fungal related if it will not go away. It just happens sometimes because it is a warm moist place. There is a special cream you can get from the doctor, but I don't remember what it is call but you do need a Rx for it. I would have your doc take a look. www.livegreeneasy.com
Hi Tammi!
My youngest used to get the worst diaper rashes...so bad in fact, that she would have what appeared to be welts and even bleed when I wiped her during a diaper change! My pediatrician told me that when it won't clear up with regular diaper rash creams, to use Lotrimin AF (he explained that females can get fungal infections from the constant moisture). It was heartbreaking to hear her scream when I would try to change her so I took his advice and everytime I used it, the rash would be gone within a day or two. My youngest is now 5 but my friend's 7 month old daughter just went through the same problem. She had it so bad that she would also bleed when they would try to clean her. I told her what worked for me and sure enough, she informed me that she tried it too and she couldn't believe how fast it cleared up. Good luck!
Trust me this works. Milation. The stuff that comes in the white bottle that you take when you have gas, bloated. You just wet there bottom with it and it helps take out the acid from the rash and works great. We learned this from mt mother in law that works at a daycare. It is even good to use when it looks like there is rash moving in.
Dear Tammi,
My doctor told me to try Lotrimin which is actually for athlete's foot. Just a small amount and then top with the Desitin. It works great! Good luck!

My daughter used to have bad diaper rash also. The peditrician told us to get a cream called triple paste. It is a little pricey, but works great. Any major pharm. chain wil have it. You may have to go to the pharm. counter itself and ask for it. Sometimes it is behind there, but you do not need a prescription for it.
Good Luck
I have tried all the products for diaper rash! The best one is triple paste. It costs more,but it works great! Sometimes I have also had to put a little bit of Lotrimin AF on 2x a day along with the triple paste. The combination heals most diaper rashes quickly!
i use to soak my 1st daughter in corn starch..i swear by a sample i got at the ped. dr cooks diaper rash cream..maybe let it air out with nothing on it..make sure it is a diaper rash and not a fungle infection..with my daughter i have to use lotrimin af...and i figured i was treating the wrong thing..sometimes the sweating under the diaper causes the fungial infection..try different diapers also
I find that balmex works better than desistan. But, there are stronger creams that you needs a prescription for, so if I were you, I would call your child's doctor to get something stronger. In the past, we have used mystatin for the kids and it works very well.
Good luck!

Hi Tammi,
What I do with my little one when she gets a diaper rash is I go and buy some baby oatmeal bath and but it in the tube and let her soak in there for a while with that. It helps there skin! And than I would let her go with out a diaper for a while let the air get at it. And than I would apply destin after every diaper change and put a lot on her before she would go to bed. And that has seemed to always clear it up! Well I hope I gave you some help. Good luck!

I like to use Triple Paste. I think it works the best. You can also try some Lotrimin (Sp?) It is the stuff you use when you have athletes foot, that should help clear it up
it sounds as though its a yeast infection instead of a diaper rash you need to buy lotrimin you can buy it at giant eagle or any pharmacy its wonderful and works super fast after 2 applications you will notice a huge change good luck
Try Lotrimin Ultra. It works every time. Just use it every time you change her diaper. Then let her "air out" for a little while at night, maybe before you put her to sleep.

Bag Balm worked for us. It is like lanolin. Bottom line is though, you HAVE to make sure her skin is completely dry before applying anything or you are trapping moisture between her skin and the ointment. Let her be naked for a short period after each diaper change.
Triple paste or butt paste always worked for me. If the diaper rash creams don't work, it could be a yeast infecection. You could try lotramin or your ped could write you a script.
Tammy, Alot of people like Triple Paste or Butt Paste diaper rash cream. I swear by Caldescene Powder... I always found it at CVS. It's in a pick container...the best treatment for diaper rash... and NOT sticky like cream! Good luck!
Hi Tammi,
My best suggestion is to make sure she is completely dry before putting on a new diaper. I keep a box of tissues nearby for dabbing dry and also apply a small amount of cornstarch powder at EVERY change. This will help with prevention in the future. My 6 month old daughter just went through a very bad bout of diaper rash (right after starting her on solids). I had great success with Aquaphor Healing Ointment - a skin protectant made by Eucerin. After trying and failing with Desitin and other products, the Aquaphor worked in 1 day on her red, bumpy, and bleeding bum. I also did my drying usual routine with the powder before applying the ointment. I have a closet full of diaper rash products (received as gifts) that I barely ever used because rashes are rare for my 2 girls (2.5 & 6m). I truly believe it's because we use to cornstarch powder to get them dry after each change. I think others suggestions of "airing out" would accomplish the same thing, but I never had the patience for that. Good luck! I know how hard it is when your little one is in pain.
Hi Tammi, my son gets very bad diaper rash as well. I used my doctors suggestion and used 2 things at once. First, I only use wet paper towels when he has a bad rash because it is more sensitive to his skin. Secondly, I let him air out a bit before putting the diaper back on. Last but not least, A&D ointment on first and then desitin or balmax. It usually clears up within a day.
Your doing the right thing by changing her so frequently, if it doesn't go away, it may be a yeast infection......you should consult your doctor about that though.
Good Luck.
Corn starch baths really do help. Put quite a bit into the bath with the water. Also, my pediatrician once recommended adding a little antacid liquid to the diaper rash cream, since it is the acidity in the poops that make the diaper rash so much worse.
