I always thought Balmex worked the best on my daughter. No other product would make it better - only worse.

Try a calendula-based diaper rash cream from your local health food store. Also, look into changing your diapers (sometimes the rash is exacerbated by whatever materials are in the diapers). You might just have to switch to cloth diapers and keep your baby clean and dry for a while, or stop using diapers altogether until the rash heals. It's entirely possible that the rash is being caused by an allergic reaction--if it recurs, pay close attention to the products you use on your baby, the clothes she wears, the food she eats, etc.

Some babies skin is more sensitive than others. Change their diddies frequently. Use paper diapers. If you use cloth, then put white vinegar in the rince cycle. It prevents amonia from forming in the cloth and thus prevents the diaper rash. Let your baby sit a bit in a baking soda bath if they have a rash. It is very soothing and helps heal it quickly. I gave my babies cranberry juice and they stopped having diaper rash forever. Some doctors say no no on the cranberry juice. I gave it straight, but then I was young. Perhaps it would work just as well diluted. I suggest you check with your pediatrician though. Butt Balm works great for a barrier to the rash causing stuff. Never use talcum power. It hurts the lungs. Baby power is mostly talcum power. Corn starch works just fine and is not known to cause any problems. Fresh air also heals. Kiss your baby a lot and never let a day go by without telling them that you love them. And show it by doing kind things for them as well. What you teach your child by example, they will do as adults. love light and peace to you and your baby's bum.

In addition to changing the diaper often (as soon as you discover that it's wet or messy) and cleaning the skin, a diaper rash ointment, like Desitin will help keep the skin dry
Desitin is oil-based, and will prevent the moisture in a wet diaper from even coming in contact with the skin, and allow healing.
If the rash does not go away or is recurring, go to your pediatrician- it may be a yeast-based rash, and will need a special ointment.

change the diaper more regularly and wash your baby to prevent the rash in the first place.

are you talking about eczema? babys just get it. no real way of prevention, just some lotion like Eucerin and just regular washing. Also baby powder does help in the itchy department in case baby is.
