Just make sure the area is clean and dry.
And sure, try some A%26amp;D ointment (as opposed to Desitin); it should help clear it up in a couple of days. If not, make an appointment with the pediatrician...he may need something a little more specialized.Diaper rash cream?
It depends on what the rash is from? If it is a yeast infection then an antifungal cream is needed but if it not a yeasty type rash then using zinc oxide or any other diaper rash ointment is fine try. If you are not sure what kind of a rash it is then get it checked out before you start using ointment on it.
diaper rash cream and corn starch works best. luck
I never used diaper rash cream. My daughter had terrible diaper rash one time so I went to the grocery store, bought an aloe leaf, put it in the fridge to make it cool, cracked it open, slathered it on her. Viola - by next diaper changing it was almost completely gone.
why would a 4 year old have a rash on his bottom?? unless it's from diapers, i wouldn't suggest using it.
I sowore by A%26amp;D ointment the one with the yellow and brown label it is the best!
I believe in most cases, no.Since the rash is already there, you should use plain ole' Vaseline or petroleum jelly.Your child might have sensitive skin.It might take a while,but it works.It has worked for 3 out of 6 of mine.
My kids are around that age,if they happen to get a rash I always use A%26amp;D Ointment,it works fine!
well, I am assuming your 4 year old is not wearing diapers.....this time of year it could be eczema or just plain old winter dry skin. I would use baby aveeno oatmeal lotion. It is great for eczema or just dry skin.
If it is really from a diaper, i have always loved balmex, usually works in a day or two.
