Our DS is a month old today and has had terrible nappy rash for over a week. It's two patches on his bum that are shiny red raw. It's also spreading out to be red all over. He screams in pain when he does a wee/poo and when we change nappies.
Have tried airing it-for a whole day recently. Sudocrem, Metanium, Bethapen etc. Only use cotton wool and water to clean and change his nappy as soon as he's done a poo.
He's a really big eater and has lots of dirty nappies so is really tricky.
Went to the docs on Monday and they prescribed Hydrocortisone but it's having no effect. I went as I wanted to rule out thrush.
What else can I do?? It's breaking my heart at every nappy change!
