I noticed the rash a few days ago but it wasn't bad at. I treated it with my go-to A&D diaper cream. When it didn't go away, I treated it for a yeast infection by putting Lamasil on it. Still, it got worse!
When my daughter, who never cries (and those who know her, know that's not a lie), was screaming for over an hour, I called the on-call nurse for help. I was sure she would laugh at the fact I was calling about a diaper rash but when she heard my daughter screaming she jumped into action. She told me about the following treatment plan:
First:
Put about 2 tablespoons of baking soda into a luke warm bath and let the child soak for about 20 minutes.
Second:
Mix together the following ointments and slather it on her bottom:
Vaseline
Neosporin (I used the one with pain relief)
A&D ointment (NOT cream)
I made a large batch of the ointment and stored it in a tub-a-ware.
My daughter immediately felt relief and was no longer in pain; on top of that she was able to move around again and the rash began to clear up. After 2 days of using the ointment after every diaper change the rash has healed up.
I will ALWAYS keep this ointment on hand and use it at the first sign of a rash!
I hope y'all find this useful in your adventures of parenting!
Hi Jessica, what ratio did you mix everything together? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI apologize for not seeing this sooner! I typically eyeball the amount but there will be more Vaseline than anything, and equal parts Neosporin and A+D ointment. If I had to guess, 3 parts Vaseline to 1 part Neosporin and 1 part A+D ointment.
ReplyDeleteIt has been 20 years since my boys were in diapers, but this was recommended to me by their ped. nurse and it totally works. It is a lifesaver.
ReplyDeleteits obvious some patients with Herpes Virus are being enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2015 until I was introduced by a blogger who also narrated her story online on how she was cured of HPV after using Dr ALUDA Herbal Medicine. This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from Herpes VIRUS. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. I have promised to keep telling good things about Dr ALUDA.
