diaper rash?

Question

My daughter is 2 and a half and still in diapers. Today she had diarrhea, and soon after developed diaper rash and has been fierce ever since. The diaper rash is to the point where she is starting to walk funny cause it hurts so bad. I have been putting aveeno diaper cream on using pentan wipes when I change her and changing her as soon as she gets wet or poops. I put her in a sitz bath with aveeno soothing bath treatment. Her cries are breaking my heart though. I would let her go without a diaper but due to the diarreha I can't. Any suggestions

Answer 1

My son had this problem and what I did was put Maalox (with cottonball) from the fridge on him. Its cool so it sooths the irritation and the ingrediants neutralize the acidic nature of urine and diarreha so it helps with the burning. I rotate between that and plain old vasoline to keep the area completly dry of any future urine or BM. PS the vasoline also helps with a quick clean up, like baby teflon for the butt. He is usually back to normal after 1- 2 days. Good Luck
