My Ds 2.7 has had an ongoing nappy rash problem. He has been diagnosed by dermatologist as having excema. I went to doctors today as hydrocortisone cream course is up and he's still showing signs of soreness but not as bad as in the past. Have been trying to work out what triggers this. His biodegradable nappies are not absorbent enough for night times so I have been putting a polyester outer from his cotton nappy set over his disposable nappy at night, think this is resulting in bad reaction to urine, I feel really stupid I've only just picked up on this but it could be a key factor. So have decided to buy a more absorbent nappy for night times, any suggestions, but for tonight I 'm wondering whether I should change his nappy before going to bed, it'll be very disruptive but may help stop a bad flare up although he's only been in it for two hours and will be in the fresh one for eight and a half, is it worth it!?
