Has anyone got a tube of yellow metanium I can buy

[veryunsure2025]

Long shot I know - does anyone have some they would be willing to post for payment? Baby's bum is so bad it's bleeding and sudocreme not working

Have you been to the doctor? When my
baby had this we tried metanium (2 years ago). It didn’t work once the skins was cracked and bleeding… doc prescribed daktacort which worked. We then maintained her skin by using a thin layer of sudocrem each change.

Sorry to hear this @veryunsure2025. Yellow metanium was miracle stuff for prevention/stamping out the beginnings of nappy rash, but I agree with PP. Once it's cracked and bleeding you need the GP and a prescription med.

Okay thanks so much both that's good advice I will write to the doctor on Monday. I gave away my last tube of metanium when my firstborn didn't need it anymore - typical!

Sprilon spray available over the counter is amazing in the meantime. Designed for bedsores keeps it all clean and it’s so light seems to help the skin still breathe.

I’d get an appointment so that they can see it in person. They usually see babies the same day!

Try canistan the last time my son had it do bad it was bleeding turned out it was fungal

I have a couple of tubes of yellow metanium but am based in Europe so would be a little while in getting to you. Would be happy to send for just the cost of postage.

It was also fungal when my dd's nappy rash was very bad and bleeding. Pharmacy own brand anti-fungal nappy cream or canesten did the trick very quickly.

In the meantime Sudocrem with a layer of vaseline over the top, it stops the cream coming off as fast when they wee in the nappy. The best though is metanium with sudocrem over the top, was amazing when my dd had a bleeding rash,hope you find one soon

Not helpful, but I'm afraid I'm going to hold on to my open tube of metanium until my dying breath, if it lasts that long. Itchy scar - put metanium on it, kid with continence issues has a sore butt - metanium.

It's so sad that it's discontinued. It was absolute gold. Even if it stains.

I am sure I have seen it in savers recently…

Don’t know why they stopped it. I’ve used /reconmended yelloW bum cream 😂 for years as it’s fab

this is a close second

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment

I saw metanium in Home Bargains a week ago but have no idea if it’s the same as the old yellow stuff.

They stopped the yellow cream.

And annoyingly now package their daily cream in yellow packaging.

OP, have you tried Sudosalve? It’s the best alternative I’ve found to metanium (though still not as good).

@ZaHaK and @RandomMess after they stopped producing the original yellow Metanium, they changed the colour of their every day barrier product packaging, which used to be purple. So now that one is yellow and readily available, and people think they are buying THE Metanium, but it’s not actually what they’re after. They’re cheeky bastards for doing that IMO.

I can’t remember the colour of the packaging but it wasn’t the old yellow one.

Anyway as per my earlier suggestion for severe nappy rash, Sprilon spray succeeded where all else failed including metanium. One of my DC suffered horrifically and it was amazing.

Sprilon was discontinued in 2023

Don’t buy medication from a random on the internet!!!!!!!!!

They sell it in a yellow box but the cream is white tube and white cream and it’s ok but not the yellow bum cream that was magical

Or people are selling the proper yello bum cream for £50 on eBay - cheeky

@VanillaImpulsehow disappointing it was amazing. I wonder they use on bedsores these days.
