Horrific bleeding nappy rash - advice please

[Rumpel]

My DS 12 months was diagnosed with an upper repsiratory tract viral infection last Tuesday - he'd had it for a few days. He developed diarrhoea by Wednesday, we went off on holiday on Thursday morning. Friday I called NHS 24 as his nappy rash was so bad. Basically they couldn't do much.

Saturday we took him to A&E and they gave us Timidine (sp?) which he has had before.
Upon returning home I have left him bum out as much as I can - but with diarrhoea it is not so easy to do! I have been applying the timidine, vaseline and nappy changing as much as I can. Took him back to GP yesterday - who gave me dietry advice for him.

But his wee bum/scrotum is red raw and bleeding. Anyone got any other advice or helpful hints for me please? I handed in 2 stool samples today and will get results Friday.

Think I will wait a week or so. He is much better today thank goodness and should make his beach party at nursery on Wednesday - hurrah! feel like my head might rotate 360 degrees and pop off if I don't get some time away from Dcs soon .

I know this thread is old and I hope Rumpel found a solution for her son's terrible nappy rash. Such a shame! I just have to share this with anyone else out there who is going through a similar experience. I myself went through this very distressing situation and if I hadn't found tiny troubles nappy cream then I would have been at my wits end. Try the tiny troubles salve (not the cream) and you will be amazed. Honest :)

Another vote for cavilon here.
