ive been putting on sudacrem and metanium cream for the past 2 weeks but nothing is working and now ive been using cotton wool and cool water to clean her bum instead of fragrance free wipes...other wise she is happy!

also my dp said that her wee is bright yellow too.....i havent noticed myself yet.

poor little thing, have you taken her to the GP? is she breast or bottle fed?

is she cryng when she wets her nappy?

i would take her to the doctors today

blister can burst and leave open skin which is not good when in contact with poo

my little girl used to get bad rashs to start with i read about all the chemicals in pampers and huggies nappies you know the gel ones, and changed her to nature baby nappies(sell them in boots)they didn't cost that much different.
i also began to use Weleda baby products they may seem a little pricey but last forever, and you can use them too, their baby range smells great.

after a couple of days i noticed the difference, and she never had any problems again.

We are thinking it may be thrush too as ive put thrush cream on her for the last 2 days but no clearer. she was on both lulumama but now on formula for the past 2 days. Thats the prob with her that she is happy to sits in her poo and wee!! and she doesnt tell us!!

i think she got thrush on her tongue as how do i know?? as the midwife at the hosp where i had my baby said thats not thrush as she seems to had the white tongue when she was born (i had abit of thrush just before i gave birth but i had it treated so maybe she caught it off me)
