My DD (5 months) has had a rash for a long time now. I've tried Metainium, Bepanthen, Sudocreme, Canandula and Canesten. None has got rid of it although I did think that the Canesten made an impression to start with but it's worse today than ever.
The rash seems to come and go, as in some days it's horribly red, but some days it's hardly there at all, or it'll start really sore looking and end very tame only to be back again in a couple of hours. It's around the inside of her legs, on her bits and today she's also really red between her bottom cheeks. It isn't open sores, just very red skin with some red 'spots' (not pimples but like pin-pricks of colour), and when it's on one of its tamer days it looks like the skin is really old and dry/silvery/wrinkled.
I am using cloth nappies, always with a fleece liner. She has long periods of nappy off time each day, I'd say a good three hours at least broken up into hour slots.
I use my own solution and fleece wipes, I stopped them for a while and used normal wipes, no difference.
I have changed my washing powder, no difference, although I do always use bio so I shall try some non-bio. I also use Soapnuts and eco-balls but they haven't made a difference either.
I have put off taking her to the doc as she's my PFB and I don't want to go to the doc if it really was just a bit of nappy rash, but I've tried everything now I think and I'm starting to feel like a really crap mum.
