Hey, not for my baby, my friends baby, she wants some help so tell what u do when your baby experience a little nappy rash, she continued to use therefore,branded and store brand nappy creams. But its not a permanent cure for her baby, its comming back again and again,
Different cream used, although to be honest, it did not seem to clear the rash up. At the end, she used some sudocrem, which seemed more effective in clearing up the rash but finally found it also failed
If u know better about this

The baby may have a yeast infection, and the doctor will have to prescibe medicine to clear it up. Leave the babies bottom out of the diaper as much as possible. It will help keep moisture out.

My daughter used to have bad nappy rash too when she was young. What helped her was Desitin nappy rash cream. The best way to treat an ordinary nappy rash, or nappy rash caused by a fungal infection, is to let it get some air. It is a good idea to leave the baby's nappy off for about an hour a few times a day.
It also helps to change the baby's nappy often. When the rash is at its worst, it may be necessary to change the nappy up to 12 times a day. Dry the baby's bottom carefully after each change.
If using cloth nappies, try changing to disposable nappies as they absorb more fluid from the baby's skin.
If using disposable nappies, try switching to cloth nappies. Sometimes changing to another type of nappy will help.
If the baby's skin turns even more red, warm and swollen, and the baby gets a temperature, you should contact a doctor immediately as the nappy rash may be caused by a bacterial infection that requires medical treatment.

Yes the baby's nappies are changed several times a day. But no the baby dont have a temp anytime whenever she had rash, but we are asking the doctor and he has also given some medication, when the medication is on-it gets better but when no medication, it comes back so its kind of i think-may be changing the nappies to cloth one can help, may be the material is not suitable for her skin...thank you friend, its helpful tip

Mary Kay's Night Cream for diaper rash can help your child. You can buy this at reasonable price at e-bay stores. I have read some reviews from mothers saying that this product works, if all other products fail.

I had this problem with my eldest in fact it got so bad it bled! I cleaned him and changed him thoroughly and regularly , used sudocrem etc but nothing helped! It turned out eventually to be eczema and I got a prescription cream that gradually started to work! I think if your friend cannot get the nappy rash cleared up she should see her doctor or health visitor, they may be able to help or give useful advice! xxx
