It doesn't look like normal nappy rash so what is it?

It's very red but seems to have White type spots? It seems to be quite painful and has spread a bit.

Any ideas?

dd had this and was given an anti fungal, thrush maybe?

thrush is my bet too. my dd had it as a baby and it cleared up really easily with canesten cream. No other nappy rash creams hepled at all because obviously that's no what it was! good luck!!

Yep, canesten should clear it overnight.

take LO to docs as they might need daktacort if the skin is very red.
