Okay a week ago (today), my son woke up with a MAJOR diaper rash. I have tried the following....different diapers, wipes, no wipes (washclothes), desitin, triple antibiotic, hydrocortisone cream, soaking baths, bare bottom, doctor prescribed: bactroban and Nystatin cream. I am now currently trying triple paste and baby cornstarch powder. I am at my wits end, it is so bad that it has bled (not severly, but his poor little bum is so raw!). I am praying that this new stuff will work (the triple paste has a "guarantee"). I have another doc appt on Wednesday. BUT everytime I change him he cries and it hurts him. I am as gentle as I can be...change him often. I am just lost. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated! He is on a new Formula, Nutrimegin (a hypoallergenic formula for milk allergy). BUT that seems weird that that would irritate him when it is such a gentle formula. Thanks for any input! :) I just want his bum normal again!
