What is the best way to get rid of diaper rash on a baby?

It is not very bad, but I believe it is painful, PERIOD. I had it gone and now it is back. I've tried Bag Balm, corn starch, and Desitin and it STILL came back. I realize this could be from teething, but it HAS to be very irritating. PLEASE HELP!

Try to expose her tushie to air as much as possible. If you can let your child go around without a diaper on, then do it. Otherwise, attach it very loosely at the waist to get some air circulating in there... Wetness lets it fester.

At each diaper change, skip the wipes. They can leave a film on the skin and make it irritated. Use plain warm water and Dove soap instead. (another mild soap is fine) There's also a product called Triple Paste that you can get in the pharmacy - it's desitin, lanolin, and something else. It's supposed to work really good.

If the rash is open and oozy or bleeding, the baby NEEDS to see the doctor for a prescription to keep it from getting infected.

Good luck!!!

ALOE VERA OR BABY POWDER WORKS BETTER THAN CRISCO LOL.

Let them go without a diaper. The rash needs to "air out" and if it's covered by a diaper it's not going to do that.

Put a cloth diaper or a towel under them while they sleep instead of putting them in a diaper. Check on them every once in awhile and change the towel if they've wet it.

Are you using baby wipes on them? If you are, try using just a soft washcloth and warm water. The baby wipes can irritate the rash.

Keep using the Desitin as well, and you should be good to go.

The only way to really help is to let them run around without a diaper on for about 20 min. You run the risk of a little pee on the floor, but it really does help and it's the quickest way to get rid of diaper rash. Also, use Dr. Smith's ointment when the diaper is on...it's the only one that doesn't rub off into the diaper! Good luck!

my sons dr perscribed an ointment called NYSTATIN ask your dr about it. it worked for me.

I use A&D and it clears it up right away the ointment not the cream. Recommended by my 3 sisters who are all mom's of 2. I also learned that citrus can bring it on.

the doctor told me to put Vaseline and it will prevent it and heal it every time you change the diaper you put the Vaseline on his bottom neither one of my children ever had diaper rash so try that

I had 5 children and I used Desitin diaper rash ointment. It worked better than anything else I tried.

A little thing you can get at your local pharmacy called Resinol Ointment. Comes in a little container. I swear by it. IT WORKS AWESOME!!!! I tried EVERYTHING else, store bought. I even tried prescriptions. This is the only thing I found that works on my daughter. It even works on open cuts and wounds to help heal them up and keep them from getting infected. Hope this helps

go to your baby's Dr office talk to a pediatrician, my doctor gave me a cream called magic butt cream i know it sounds hilarious but it worked like a charm

If it has been there a while you may want to consider the doctor. It may be a yeast rash that requires a prescription. Other than that you can try a warm bath with a quarter cup vinegar and a quarter cup salt. It works wonders. Also with my latest son, I realized he was too sensitive to the diapers he was using and switched to Huggies. Use only unscented wipes, allow time between diaper change to let the skin dry and allow for a bit of naked time each day, It will help a lot.

Depending on where in the country you live, buy either Pinxav or Butt Paste.

I always had success with A&D ointment, you use it at every diaper change even if they don't have diaper rash. It helps to keep the moisture away so that they don't get diaper rash. It also helps to let them go without a diaper for a while, it is the moisture being trapped next to the skin that causes the rash. Letting their bottom be exposed to the air helps to dry up the moisture.

To tell you the truth my babies' butt rash went away faster when I didn't put anything on it. Just keep his diaper clean and if you get a chance leave his diaper off so his butt can get some air.

my pediatrician told me to use a cool blow dryer to thuroughly dry my daughters bottom then use caldesene powder it is in a pink container it really worked wonders

use a diaper rash cream called butt past and let it air dry

my son's pediatrician had me mix 1 part desitin and 1 part liquid antacid, and spread on the diaper rash...it works for my son. i know the antacid sounds weird, but it helps neutralize the acid in the BM that causes the rash to begin with, the desitin heals and soothes.

Balmex. Enough said.

Boudrous Butt Paste- it is not the cheapest but it works pretty well. Also, my son was allergic to all rash cream, but we could use Mustela's barrier cream on him- it really seemed to heal him up nicely.

Well i see that you tried destin but did you get the creamy formula that tends to take the rash away almost immedately. After you get this pesty rash to go away try to make it it's final time what i do is after the baby get's his first rash i apply the destin and then once the rash is gone what you might try is putting vasaline every time you change the pamper what it does is keeps the urine and poop from sticking to the skin in which case causes the rash. make sure that you keep up with the pampers and also apply cornstarch baby powder formulas too so that you can make sure that when you just can't get to the pamper changing your baby will sstill be able to stay dry. Good Luck!

Leaving the diaper off can help, but hopefully you have hardwood/laminate floors! I like Boudreaux's Butt Paste, it works FAST and is better than Desitin.

you might try regular a&d ointment my first 2 kids were allergic to zinc oxide if the rash has little bumps it might be a yeast infection then I would try regular lanican( think thats how you spell it.) plus letting the baby air out between changes for a few minutes, use a washcloth to clean messes, and taking a bath sometimes helps just don't wash up until right before you get the baby out so he's not sitting in the soapy water wich can eiritate the rash. once rash goes away continue to put daiper rash cream on to prevent it from coming back

Check out this link. This stuff works REALLY well. I even use it when I have had heat rash! http://www.buttpaste.com/

Are you sure it's a diaper rash or is it a yeast infection? I had that problem with my baby and that's what it turned out to be. That's why it kept coming back. My doctor had me put clotrimizole on like diaper rash cream and it went away fast. Look into it and see what the problem is. It got better the same day.

wash bottom w soap water u need not undress all the way just bottom and wipe dry then add desitin w wiping baby powder on bottom dont shake powder on bottom it will go in baby nose and mouth put on hand rub hands together and then put powder on top of cream double protection goood luck

keep them dry and use cream
