Strange rash

That sounds similar to what Michaela and her cousins (Wigglesfans kids) had.

Wigglesfans doctor said it was heat rash and my doctor said it was related to Michaela's infected foot so the truth is I don't think either of them had a clue, but on the plus side Michaela's rash is gone done now (I used bepanthan too).

But she has developed this weird, random rash along the edge of her thigh on one leg only that looks like a rash of pimples with tiny pussy heads on them. It's spreading from under her nappy area down the top of her thigh, but as I said, only on one side. Does anyone know what it might be, and if so, what to treat it with? I'm using Bepanthen and Karicare Ointment on the rash on her bottom.

It sounds like what Leo had when he was cutting teeth at around 11mths. He got bad nappy rash that was raw & made his bottom bleeding (as a direct result of acid poo) and in the end he got some blisters with white pussy tops (sorry, tmi!!). I took him to the Dr and he said that the white puss indicated a bacterial infection and he prescribed oral antibiotics and a butt cream. I ended up putting him in sposies for a couple of days so that I could strip & disinfect all his cloth nappies and also I found that in cloth because the area was staying warm the sores just weren't drying up. As much as I hate sposies they served a purpose and within a week he was all healed & back in his lovely cloth.

Also good for nappy rashes is: baking soda baths, wetting nappy cloths with baking soda solution before cleaning babies bottom & manuka honey (yep, straight from the kitchen pantry - stings like a mother the first few times it's used but clears up the rash really well as has antibac properties)
