Nappy Rash Creams

[SarahH]

Hi all!

Just a quicky really.... Arianna is getting a small bit of nappy rash.... I've been using Sudocrem. It doesnt seem to be getting any worse but it's not clearing up either - can you suggest a better cream?

There is hardly any... just a few little spots but better get it sorted soon!

Sudacrem didnt help alex either. i had a little sample of Bepanthen in one of my Bounty bags which i tried and it cleared up a treat.

been using it ever since. its not that cheap but i found it realy good. comes in tubes, boots do it and you dont need to ask for it onver the counter or anything - usually with the baby lotion etc!

Weleda also do a completely natural creame from calendula - http://www.weleda.co.uk/

I use all their baby products on Otis and they've been great so far.

I use zinc and castor oil cream, i just rub a little on every change and Thea hasnt had a bit of nappy rash at all as yet.

i use bepanthen..its great, it can be used as a barrier cream to prevent nappy rash or to treat nappy rash!

A bit late I know (sorry) but the doctor we saw the other day told us that Sudocream is a barrier & therefore won't clear up nappy rash???? He prescribed us with some hydrocortisone (sp?) cream which has is really good.

Lydia had very very bad nappy rash when we used sudocreme. We tried a few other cremes aswell but nothing helped - it was the most awful rash ever!
Then my mam suggested vaseline, and after only 2 days of using that, she was totally rash free.
We have stuck to the vaseline ever since, and the rash has never come back
