whats best for sore looking itchy bum rash?

[juicychops]

its red and pimply and ds complaining of it being very itchy

whats best to put on it? have been putting e45 on it but doesn't seem to be doing anythin

How old is DS? I've used nappy cream before on DD when she is sore (and she is 9!). Maybe see the Dr to find the cause of it, also?

No not E45 - I've been told not to use that. My DS had something similar and I used Sudacrem (my cure for everything) and it cleared up fairly quickly. Although someone will probably post and say that's not right either .
Worth trying something different though eh?

I use the baby barrier cream from Neals Yard on my DD and it is brilliant.

Sudacrem made my DDs bum bleed - its horrible stuff. (your were right AtC!) We used conotrane cream - and for us it worked brilliantly.

ds is 4. only noticed it last night when getting him ready for bed.

too late for docs appointment now so will have to just keep an eye on it

is that conotrane cream over the counter stuff or do you need a prescription?

metanium always helped red bums here.

over the counter - its used for things like pressure sores as well. reviews here
