Tori had a bad diaper rash and the nurse practioner told me to use Mallox. It

helps cut the acid and would clear up the rash almost over night. I just dipped

a cotton ball in the Mallox and applied it.

's diaper rash

Jodi,

Try soaking 's bottom in warm water with some Epsom salts

added. That should soothe the tender skin. Also, when you clean

him with the soft cloth, use the same kind of water. You also may

want to consider cloth diapers for the timebeing so that air can get

to the rash. Use them while at home even if it is for a short

time. Disposable diapers don't let in enough air and the stuff that

makes them so absorbant slows down the healing. Even just a few

hours a day will help.

Jodi,

Air drying really is important, so much that if you can let him go

without a diaper some of the time it will help. I have red haired

childen with very sensitive skin and we had some severe diaper rash

in our house. I would also suggest putting balmex on it everytime

you change him, for some reason is coats better than the others.

Lastly if you think this problem will occur again, let me know and I

could send you some " secret " balm that is made up by our local

pharmacist!
