HELP!!! Unusual allergy?!

[geflovesmnet]

I really need the advice of you mothers out there! My daughter, Alice-Poppy, has been having severe reactions to TOILET ROLL!!!!! TMI- her bottom just seems to get very rashy after every toilet trip, I don't know how long she can cope!! It can be extremely painful for her and there are often tears- any advice?!
Thanks everyone, I'm very worried

Is the toilet roll, or has she got cystitis, or urine infection that is causing the rash? Maybe worth getting her checked out at e doctors.

Maybe in the short term, use nappy rash cream or anti-histamine cream.

Are you sure it's not thrush or other nappy type rashes? THat would be my 1st thought.

Otherwise:

I assume this is " fancy" loo roll ie coloured /scented/ aloe vera ed or otherwise " poshed up" .

Just by cheap white loo roll and she should be fine. Or go bck to the wip;es you used when she was in nappies . If it's really the loo roll things should recover fast with these

also check for paper allergy, i know a lady who has a severe allergy to papers, and takes antihistamine everyday. if she gets a cut from paper it makes it worse.

Hi, I am allergic to toilet paper, facial tissues, kitchen roll used on the eyes/nose and disposable sanitary products.
I get red, sore, swollen and with frequent/prolonged use, a rash too. The only toilet paper I can use is Charmin or Andrex, plain white ones, without scent.
I find I am much more sensitive to cheaper toilet papers and recycled toilet paper is the worst.
If I wipe my eyes with a tissue other than Tesco mansize or Kleenex, then I get red swollen weepy eyes within minutes!
I always carry my own tissues with me to use in public loos!
