What Is The Treatment For Recurring Diaper Rashes?
Grandson has a recurring diaper rash that pops up quickly and does not respond to usual diaper creams. Often sores that bleed. Doctor has said it is not yeast or bacteria. Using disposable diapers, no diaper wipes, air drying when possible. Have tried Desitin, A&D, Butt Paste, Nystatin, Hydrocortison, Triple Paste....HELP!

Hai.. I agree that its diaper rash...but applying a cream is only symptomatic treatment. Root cause could be a fore milk diarrhea. See of he is being fed completely till one breast is empty & then shifted to the other breast if he's still hungry. Kindly consult your pediatrician regarding this. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
