ds (2) has something i thought at first was nappy rash and now dont think it is. it doesnt seem sore or itchy and he isnt worried about it, but rather than the red angry patches you usually get with nappy rash he has a lot of little spots, some rather pustulous, that when they start drying up give way to flaky patches.
tried ditching the babywipes and cleaning with damp cotton wool for a week plus loads of sudocrem which helped a bit but it is now coming back again despite such efforts. he has been in reusables since birth and i have double-washed them at high temperature in case there is some sort of germ lurking in them. he has been a bit generally off colour for the last week as well tho not sure if it's related (he's also had a cold).
will take him to the doctors on monday if it hasnt cleared up but anyone got any helpful suggestions?
