Pleeese someone tell me how to cure this nappy rash - desperate now.

[fakeblondie]

My baby is 5 weeks old and had nappy rash for over 3.
I know what im doing id like to think as i`m a health professional and its my 4th child !
Tried everything but i just KNOW something else is needed.
Tried sudocrem,vaselone,powder,metonium, bup ? , antifungal and nappy off at every opportunity.

In desparation tried fucidene which initially cleared it a lot then back to square one.
Have seen hv and gp a week ago and both say continue !

I am going on hol this weekend and have become so distressed by tring to sort this i really think we should stay home now.I feel like its got to get REALLY bad before anybody will take notice because i reqlly am trying everything and its still slowly getting worse.
I bath her in plain water even in the night.

Is there anything on prescription i can try.
How would i know the difference between a bacterial infection and something which maybe required a mild steroid ?
I swabbed it on Tue btw.

I feel like its completely taken over tge enjoyment of our first weeks and i`m really desperate to get it sorted.
GP is calling me back later as no appts til next week x
Many thanks

The unbleached disposable nappies are Moltex - very good - my dc never had nappy rash using those but as they are bit pricey we used cheaper disposables as well but went back to Moltex if they got a rash.

We also used Weleda as soothing barrier cream but would use metanium if bad rash, which did eventually sort out the worst we had, but you sound like you've tried most creams.

Maybe something simple like egg white ( friend had success with that ) may help more than lots of different creams at this stage. Really feel for you, very upsetting. Good luck..

Also could check out any homeopathic remedies if you're into trying alternative stuff.. It may be Sulphur ( sounds bad I know!) but could check at a pharmacy selling remedies or place like Neals Yard.

Yes,Moltex,that was the brand we used.those and Weleda sorted out dd thankfully.
