My DD is 18 months old. She is very prone to severe nappy rash and had a bout of thrush about 2 months ago, which was treated with a steriod cream. However, the nappy rash is back with a vengence. The skin is red raw and dry as a bone. I've tried every creme recommended - natural and normal - metanium, sudocreme, neals yard balm, bepaththen, kamilosan, almond oil and chamomile and lavender in the bath. Several trips to the doctor, but advice is just to put plenty of creme on to act as a barrier.
She poos 4-6 times a day and it is often still quite soft. The nappy rash seems to be worse after many pooings and especially at teething times. She is in so much pain, she winces every time I change her. I try to give her as much no nappy time as poss after she gets home from nursery and weekends.
Nursery are also very concerned. They asked me to check with GP if she has some sort of allergy as they had a child there a long time ago with same probs, but was allergic to citrus (my baby loves fruit, but cant say I giver her much citrus fruit).
Any advice? Any wonder-cremes or lotions and potions?
I was reading another thread about a baby that is skinny and poos loads, could it be coelic disease? She's a fantastic eater by the way, but dead skinny with a pot belly and very small - only about 21lbs (9-12m clothes are still big on her).
