Mixing some probiotic in their bottle or with some apple sauce or even add some to their baby yogurt will re-balance their "flora" in their gut and will not only help heal the rash, but prevent it from turning into a yeast infection and also stop the diarrhea!!!!! I am telling you this works so fast!! Also, if you do go to peoples pharmacy, they sell the probiotics in a jar instead of tiny packets and you can mix it in the palm of your hand with some (homeopathic) hydrocordizone (you can get than there too) and make a paste and put it on their bum and it makes the rash, swelling and redness go away in a couple hours. When they are little like that and have diarrhea real bad, it can totally throw off the balance of bacteria in their guts. Also, Peoples Pharmacy has probiotics too. Our doctor suggested Lactobacillius granules (you can get them at CVS and also HEB from the pharmacy. My son had the worse diaper rashes, and he got Roto virus 3 times from day care!!
SORE BUM FROM DIARRHEA SKIN
Letting the cool air get to it will allow the skin to feel better and lessen the time it's not getting air to dry out naturally. Virtually no scars and helps his skin heal faster.ĭare I say it but you might even try allowing your child to be diaper-free for 5-10 minutes at a time. This has been wonderful for our child's diaper rashes and cuts and bruises. It comes in a small roll-on type container. Make sure that there is no other ingredient listed besides Vitamin E oil.
Then you can try putting 100% pure vitamin E oil on it. Instead, just use tepid (lukewarm) water on a papertowel and then pat the area dry or blow on it until the reddened areas are completely dry. Also, make sure not to wipe it w/ a regular baby wipe. I know that's pretty labor-intensive however, it's only a temporary so perhaps you can look at it that way. At least for the first day or two (until you start to see improvement), check her diaper every 5-10 minutes.
My heart goes out to your little granddaughter. I would let her be diaper-less as much as possible in order to promote healing. The chemicals in wipes will just irritate her little bottom. I think avoiding baby wipes is a good idea. You can get it at Target (though you have to ask for it). It doesn't have all the parabens that Desitin has, yet is still very effective. Dr Smith's is one that worked for us (but it's not naturally derived nor organic). It really is better than using Vaseline or other barrier type things, because it is breathable, while they are not.Įven for very mild rashes, Boudreaux's never worked for us. It's also safe for cloth diapers, which is why I got it in the first place! It's available online. This really helps the skin to breathe and heal, while still protecting it. It's very good because it provides a barrier to the moisture, keeping new urine and feces from irritating the rash, but the barrier is breathable,which you won't find in any other barrier type cream.
It has lanolin, which is very healing, along with Vitamin E and salycilic acid which both promote new cell growth of skin. I haven't dealt with diaper rash that severe, but I use a naturally derived, organic ointment called Grandma El's. But definitely discuss with her doctor because if it is not responding to Destin or the butt paste it is probably something other than "diaper" rash. I used to have one doctor tell us to let my oldest daughter run around outside in cotton panties so when she would potty it was outside (daughter wasn't old enough yet for potty training) to help her not get so many diaper rashes. So ask the baby's doctor about it and then remember that if the diaper or clothes are snug on the baby the skin can't breathe to heal. At least that is what it says on the tube under the name. I just went and found the tube and it is called Vusion the break down of ingredients is 0.25%Miconazole nitrate, 15% zinc oxide, & 81.35% white petrolatum. The doctor prescribed some anti-fungal cream and within 2 hours of the first use her bottom was almost completely cleared. SO I went to her doctor and it wasn't a "diaper" rash it was a yeast infection from her previous diaper rashes. She was so tender and raw sometimes blood would wipe away. My daugther had continous rashes that we treated with Destin and other O.T.C.
