The best nappy rash cream?

[Mildred76]

Hi - can anyone recommend a great nappy rash cream? I've been using Sudocrem but not sure it is doing much now. Poor little girl has sore bottom from 2 weeks of diarhorrea, think it is teething. thanks

Metanium, bright yellow very waxy but by jingo it works

Yup, Metanium. No doubt about it.

What Cyb said, it's like cement.

another vote for metanium

it stains terribly (clothes) so be careful

you only need a bit as well

also, as much nappy off time as you can manage

Another vote for metanium here - cleared up DS's sorely bum in no time

xposts ruby - also just to say make sure LO's bottom is completely dry before slapping it on as otherwise it doesn't work

we use Bepanthen

Metanium - great stuff. A tube lasts years as you spread it so thinly.

Yep we have a tube entering its 7th year

Metanium but it stains badly so be careful putting it on.

Sorry for hijack but please can I ask whilst the subject's here:
Is Metanium a barrier cream or to be used to treat sore, broken skin (or both)?

DS has come home from nursery 2 weeks running with really sore broken skin on his bum, presumably from not having dirty nappy changed quickly enough

He really cried when I washed him with warm water and applying Sudocrem caused more upset.

Will Metanium be more soothing and help it heal more quickly than Sudocrem / Bepanthen?

TIA

Drapolene - cures overnight for us

Metanium seems to be a barrier (same as sudo). Drapolene seems to be absorbed for us - more like Bepanthen but with an antiseptic element.

Thanks JetLi, will get some Drapolene, I find Sudocrem is a good enough barrier usually, but he seems so sore think he needs something more soothing.

Also don't fancy staining my washable nappies yellow unless nothing is as good as Metanium
