Look at these pitiful diaper raches! I'll bet it's not this bad...
I agree with .. Ol' Grandad .. she needs go naked for several hours at a time if possible. When she sleeps just line the bed with chubs if she pees it won't hurt a thing. It needs air!!!! Put some cornstarch on her butt while she sleeps it will help sooth it.
Cloth diaper will let it breath better also but change frequently, no rubber liners till this is cleared up!

Airing out is a good idea.
But don't be afraid to seek a second opinion from another pediatrician. If it is an allergic reaction and not basic diaper rash, your ped may prescribe an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory. ASK YOUR DOCTOR!!! Don't interpret this suggestion as a diagnosis.
On the whole it does not sound TOO serious, though you are right to be concerned. Baby just needs the right therapy.

I believe its a SEVERE case of diaper rash. My kids had gone through that kind of severity before. I always took them to the Dr. anyway, because of the pain that they were experiencing. The Dr. gave me some medicated ointment with a mild pain reliever in it. It would then clear up in about 3 days. I feel for your kids. Sorry and good luck.

you will desire to unquestionably have her checked with the aid of a doctor. 'maymitty' is so best..it ought to very properly be seizures. I as quickly as knew a guy or woman who had seizures that have been strictly eye blinking. This guy or woman replaced into attentive to her atmosphere and did bear in mind conversations whilst having those seizures. Like 'maymitty', i do no longer choose for to alarm you yet, it somewhat is extra ideal to be risk-free particularly than sorry. it ought to very properly become a factor she is going via or a habit she has picked up from somebody yet, having suggested that, it somewhat is a few thing plenty extra severe.

Try Balmex they usually sell it in any drug store, I found it works better than any other diaper rash ointment and leave her diaper off to air a few times a day.

Bath the area many times a day especially when you change the diaper.She can be allergic to the diapers you're using so you should change them.Boil chamomile and with a clean paper wipe the affected area as much as you can.Don't use to much sudocream on it cause it may make it worse.Hope I helped you.Take care

Best thing you can do is let her diaper area get plenty of fresh air. Keep her diaper-free for an hour or so and you should see it start to 'cool down'. No creams until you put another diaper on.

May be fungal which is quite common. All I can add is keep the area quite dry as you can for a while till it clears.
All fungal rashes need moisture to grow as far as I know (like tinea).
Also go get a second opinion from another doctor. They're not all knowledgable in all areas.

Obviously it's a little more than just basic diaper rash. Is it bleeding? I would take her back to the dr and be adamant that he do something, don't let him intimidate you.

It is a diaper rash - let her air out for a while (no diaper)
