I would advise you to seek medical attention. My son just had a similar rash and it turned out to be a yeast infection caused by the sugar in my breast milk. Additionally, if you are in fact nursing the child, be more conscious your sugar and carbohydrate intake.

I actually put vaseline on him then baby powder over it and within a week this rash was gone. I'm continuing to do this to prevent future outbreaks. Thanks for the answers though! :)

Be careful with baby powder... studies have linked inhalation of the talc to asthma and other lung problems.

My son had severe diaper rash that we later found was due to thrush. We tried perscriptions and over the counter remedies to little or no avail. Finally a friend told us about Resinol cream from U.S. Dermatologies, Inc. We found it at a local pharmacy over the counter for less than $5.00 a tub and it worked miracles! Hope this helps.

I actually found that Aveeno diaper rash ointment, baby powder,and thin layer of vaseline will help and also use with each diaper change helps protect.If on medication I would think about seeing a doctor may be yeast infection.

It may not be diaper rash , it could be thrush or some other kind of rash, in which case the creams you have tried would not work, best thing is to take your child to a doctor and let them see and they will give you the appropriate cream... Parents aren't doctors as i have found with my 4 little ones......

Air time works best. When the skin is open and weeping after being wiped, blow on the sores or dry with a hair dryer. This allows the sores to seal themselves off and start healing. Doing this two or three times was always enough for my two, and they'd be all better in another day.

We have used Desatin oinment and it works awesome for are 3 kids.

I have some stuff I got in a whinnie the pooh gift set and its just zinc oxide and I used that and it worked great. You would just have to make sure that you pat your babys butt dry before you put it on

Because we have 2 small boys who are what the Pediatrician calls Hypersensitive we always have to deal with all sorts of rash problems. I have a new baby that you can seem to just look at and a rash will appear...no kidding. Our baby is so Hypersensitive that he has to have Special Formula, Special Soap and Creams and even wears Special Herbal Disposable Diapers that my husband must order special for us or we will most definately have a very bad diaper rash and body rash. So I share my knowledge with you all as a way to assist others in their need. So I write you now to say, with this in mind, there is an awesome ointment on the market by Motherlove called: Diaper Rash Relief and it is all natural and Organic. You can even use it for yeast infections not just diaper / nappy rash and also if you have thrush you can use it on your nursing nipples and not have to stop nursing.l learned this when I had thrush with my new baby and this Doctor we saw wanted me to stop nursing for a week til it healed. A lactation consultant was called and a Love Affair with this ointment was born. THIS stuff really works. Motherlove also has another ointment for thrush on nipples or dry cracked nipples called Nipple Cream. But I found the diaper rash ointment to be the same. And the best part of all is: Your baby can still nurse and you do not have to wash it off first it is totally safe for baby. The rash on the baby's bum will heal really quickly with this ointment. You can purchase it at: www.Babyuniverse.com or even on ebay. There are a couple other ones out there that work well too. One has been around for 100 years and my Mum used it religiously...it is called Penaten Creme from Germany....www.ebay.com has it. Ebay Sellers Store name is: Domo Arigato. Also another one is called: Sanft from Germany but it is hard to find. I have tried all the other creams on the US market and just prefer these to any of the usual makes. There is a really good one from England called: Metamium and it works like a charm as well. You can find most of these on ebay site relatively inexpensive. The Motherlove is the one I would go with if I were in your position. I must say, with all the rash problems and creams we use and the special Herbal Japanese and Korean diapers and pull ups we use ( these are on ebay too -- seller store name is: Domo Arigato) for our boys we do not have anymore problems with yeast or any other rash now. I have offered these options for future reference in case someone else needs help. Good luck to you.

I would suggest using Vaseline to prevent future diaper rashes. I apply this after every diaper changing, and it really works. My son has never had a rash. It is also less expensive then all the diaper rash creams out there.

Does your child have eczema? Eczema can appear any where there is skin. I have had the experience of eczema happening in the diaper area. The rash was like fissures. It was awful and nothing seems to work. One help is changing diapers often. Clean only with water and cotton ball. Let area air dry.

I would definitley say CORN STARCH, everyone told me to use it on my baby, I will give you 100% gaurentee that it works. I seeked medical attention for my daughter and her rash, and the doctor gave me a cream that was prescribed, and it did not work, the neigbor (old fashioned) told me to use corn starch and it worked with in 1 day. 100%.

try a larger daiper or while ur home give him some air take the diaper off rap a blanket around the bottom area so if any accidents know one gets dirty and so there not cold ur baby will for sure love it

First, if it is severe you should see a doctor.Then Use Desiten. I am not sure how it is spelled but it worked on my kids. Also when it has cleared up use Vaseline. It keeps the moisture away from the skin.

use a wet washcloth to wipe the area because wipes may burn and then make sure yo pat the area completly dry. then apply a Diper rash cream. Butt Paste seems to be the best one with the fastest affects. Otmeal baths seem to help to. If it dosn't go away with anything it could be a fungle diper rash!

How about try calling a doctor?

I agree with other posters that you should consult a doctor. Some of my kids have/had food allergies that cause severe rash. In the meantime, try desatin covered with corn starch powder. It makes kind of a cakey covering over the rash. At changing time, don't try to wipe it off with wipes or wash cloth - there is an awsome product that you can get at Rite Aide or Sav On drugstores called "Domboro". You put it in a small tub or sink with warm water and let your baby sit it in as long as possible.. If you do this two or three times a day, not only will this bring instant releif for your baby, but the rash will begin to clear up.

if its at a blister state, then maybe a quick visit to the doctors office might be good, because new borns are allergic to things, that we as parents normally arnt

u should try taking him to the doctor and look on google for things like herbal remedies. sign ur 14 year old no it all

My son's pediatrician prescribed a medicated ointment as well as instructed me to let his bottom air dry for about 30 minutes 3 or so times a day. I would change him first thing in the morning using a warm, damp washcloth, pat him dry, put on the medication, then loosely wrap a towel around his bottom. I would then repeat in the afternoon, then right before bed. I also got some oatmeal bath stuff for babies that I would use before I put him to bed. If you're really worried about it, call the doctor and ask them what you need to do. Don't be afraid to call your pediatrician, that's what they're there for. No health question is unimportant when it comes to your child's health.

Pure aloe vera or, I would suggest buying MSM at a local health store. MSM is a natural sulfur found in our soil, which is basically depleted and not prominent enough in our diets. It is great when applied topically for rashes, burns, and ALL types of skin conditions. It is natural and non-toxic. If you buy the powder form, mix with a bit of water to make a paste. Many places also have it in lotion form. The staff at the store will be knowledgable.

desiten works great but if it is that bad you need to seek the doctor to det something better.

Babies tend to get yeast infections. They are more like jock itch yeast infections vs. feminine yeast infections. Staying in a diaper 24/7 even if changed regularly is a great place for yeast to breed. It is dark, moist and warm. The Doctor will prescribe nystatin cream or something similar.

A & D Ointment which is found at most drug stores and local stores is a really good diaper rash ointment. It has been around for years.

I have two girls and an 8 month old boy and they all suffered from severe diaper rash as well as yeast infections for my two girls. I thought that they would have to just learn to live with what they were going through (pain and discomfort)since anything that I tried on them failed to do the trick, then my mother and mother inlaw both suggested to use corn starch. At first I laughed. By the end of the day The rash went from bright red with sores to light pink and the sores were beginning to heal themselves. Now with my 8 month old son I am a firm believer that corn starch works on ANY kind of skin irritations.

Check with your Physician.

2 of my 3 children could not wear disposable diapers for more than 3 days, so I used cloth. One couldn't wear cloth. Maybe because of the detergent. Fequent changes, air drying & a good zinc oxide cream always corrected it for me.

If the rash is persistent check w/ your pediatrician. My son had a really bad case of this type of rash as did my nephew & neice, we found out they were all alergic to the lanolin in the baby wipes!! Solution: flannel clothes w/ a mild baby wash.

use "desitin" cream it contains zinc oxide it will soothe and relieve diaper rash

a simple remedy...plan old corn starch....it does work.

I have found that the best diaper rash cream, that is pretty easy to find in US stores is the Burt's Bees brand. When my 20 month old son has a diaper rash, before bed, I put him in a pretty warm bath for about 20 minutes, and then dry his diaper area off really well, before putting on a thick layer of the cream; almost every time the rash is healed before morning. The only time this didn't work was when it was a yeast infection, and I had to use a prescription cream.

My husbands grandma knows tons of home remedies and the best one she ever told me was for a diaper rash. Just brown a small amount of flour, let it cool, and apply it to the rash like baby powder. It will clear up in no time.

It sounds like the child has something more then diaper rash. My son got something like that and it turned out to be staff infection. Please have your child examined by a doctor.

Take baby to the doctor. They could be having an allergic reaction to the creams or they may have a yeast in fection (even if it is a boy they get them too). I made the mistake of tring to treat my child when she had a bad diaper rash to only find out that she was allergic to diper rash creams. I tried the corn starch (suggested by my mom) and that made it worst. Her skin was so raw it was peeling off, and because I tried home remidies fist and she was constantly peeing on the rash she developed a yeast infection. Johnson's has a medicated baby powder that work wonders but don't cake it on. Use it lightly.

Stop using wipes for awhile. Sometimes those perfumes can cause an allergic reaction.

try plain cornstarch

I have an 8 month old son with short gut syndrome. He has a very small amount of small bowel(only about 3 cm, so basically none). The bottom of his stomach is attached to his large intestine. He poops around 5-6 times a day(or more). And it is very acidic because the food doesn't go through the small intestine which helps neutralize the acid. I change him frequently, but the diaper rash is hard to keep away. The Gastroenterologist recommended using different wipes. They said even the sensitive ones may not be sensitive enough. You can make these yourself. Get soft gauze and pour mineral oil over them to saturate. I also use a little bit of water to help keep them moist and it makes the oil go farther. It helps a lot on it's own, but they also gave me some cream that has zinc oxide which helps also. Hope this helps.

After calling the Pediatrician and being advised to buy Beaudreaux Butt Paste or Flanders Diaper rash cream that didnt seem to work, I decided to fall back on Grandma's remedy which I had used years earlier on my daughter: brown flour! Believe it or not it really works! Cornstarch is also great to alternate between changes but for a severe almost blistered rash you can put regular baking flour in a skillet and put on medium heat. Stir flour with a fork until it is golden to dark brown. Take from skillet and let cool and then apply to baby bottom just like cornstarch or powder (letting baby bottom air dry prior to application also helps any rash). Keep extra in a ziplock for later use, it works!

We used Dr. Smiths on my daughter when she would get really bad diaper rashes. It's a little more expensive than the others, but it is well worth it.

my daugter is 15 months and we have been battleing the diper rash for a long time. i've tried all the butt creams balmex, desitin, a&e, cornstarch. any two prescriptions. we are now on our third perscription to see if that helps and my doctor placed her on the brat diet to see if she is has an allergy to milk products. so i'm hoping this will work and we will find some answers out. the corn starch definately gives my daughter releif.

desetin: sucked budreaux's butt paste: worked on 2 kids sucked on the third about to try corn starch and then if all else fails te good ol doc to try some antibiotic ointment. will update later

Use 'petroleum jelly' or vaseline, as I know it. Creates a waterproof barrier, works rather well.

I used to use vitamin E. Take a pin and poke a hole in a vitamin E pill and squeeze it on the baby's bum and rub in gently. Should help in a day or two.

Curex <sp>

Give bath with a ton of baking soda mixed in. Let air dry as much as possible before putting on diaper. Change diaper frequently. When changing a dirty diaper, spray off with warm water instead of using wipes, that will hurt less and irritate less. Again, let air dry as much as possible b4 putting diaper on. Use unscented/fragrance free wipes always... and just be very gentle.

try a+d ointment or aquaphor. they are great for diaper rashes it could also be an indication of a yeast infection though. The blistering is a symptom of this.

Nixoderm cream. I promise u it will work.

I have some thoughts on your question, but I think it's not in the best interests of the infant and dangerous for non-professionals to play doctor. Forget AB and get that baby into the professional hands of a qualified pediatrician!

try balmex, it works good

Get a prescription for gentian violet. It's an old fashioned cure but REALLY REALLY works. A doctor from the french foreign legion prescribed it for my youngest daughter and it was the ONLY thing that worked. It costs about fifty cents for enough to last forever. The only drawback is that it stains both the skin and clothing. Your baby will have a bright purple behind and if you are using cloth diapers, they will be purple too. Otherwise, you will see results within 24 hours of beginning treatment. I can't recommend this more highly. Good luck.

my 3month old daughter had such a bad diaper rash it bled. i could not diaper her and would sit her in water and let her dry on a towel and sit with no diaper on. i tried neosporin with pain reliever, that cleared it up by the next day!! i also used dermaplast, the numbing spray the hospital gives you for your stitches after childbirth. i probably didn't actually heal her bottom but it did giver her relief. just be careful when spraying it because the fumes are strong just move her away from the area after spraying or use a towel to create a barrier from her breathing it. it really does make the rash bearable for them as does the neosporin with pain reliever. all those bacteria get into the already irritated blisters, it hurts them so bad to try and clean the area so that neo. kills all that bacteria and promotes healing, i've used it with all my kids now, good luck!!

Get your child to the doctor. Do not play around. Is it a boy or girl. His it where their genitals area. Are you rising them good before you dry them. What type of soap are you using. Some soap on the market are not for children. They are for teens or adults. Stuff in the soap can be doing this. What kind of soap you using to wash the child clothes. It all is very important. So when you go to the doctor, you need to copy the back of your clothes soap information, your soap bar information, hair shampoo information. What type of body lotion are you using. Etc, etc., etc. The doctor will need all information when you go.

You should take your child to a doctor as soon as possible! When my kids got really bad diaper rash took them to the doctor. He gave me a prescription for an ointment. Then told me to maximum strength Desitin. Lotls of it. I've also used neosporin on the non-genital area. On non sever diaper rash areas, my doctor had me mix cornstarch and milk of magnesia until it creates a paste. It worked wonders on my girls. My son not so much. Here's a link that illustrates the process http://fencingmama.blogspot.com/2009/10/homemade-diaper-rash-cream.html

Keep the child naked. Allow their skin to breath freely. clothing harbors bacteria that can cause all kinds of problems. Use corn starch and keep them bare. Years ago almost all little children ran around naked and played naked and they didn't have the rashes or problems kids do today because parents are afraid to let their children be naked. The Lord God made us all to be naked all the time but Satan and man made it different.
