My daughter has a really bad rash on her bum and I have tried most most of the creams that I know of I've tried air drying her all day and aloe vera plant she has had it for over a week now and it looks really sore.. any. Other stuff I can try?

Tried, tested and true for many years, Penaten cream is the best for diaper rash, bub.

Is that just from the supermarket?

I don't know where you are but it is generally from a drug store, but have seen it at the grocery store with other items like aspirin, cough syrup, etc.

Penaten cream - An excellent skin cream, whether used for Baby's Diaper Rash or to eliminate a skin rash for adults.

In our nursery we use good 'ole Crisco.

Since she has had it for over a week, and it still looks really sore even after using some of the usual remedies, you might want to have her checked to make sure it is actually a nappy rash and not an infection such as a yeast infection, which you would need to treat differently.

Yes, that is correct.

One thing I forgot to ask...

Is the baby on antibiotics?

Also, plain old corn starch works very well for nappy rashes, including yeast/thrush.

Yea I'm going to have it checked tomorrow if ut still looks bad. No she's not on any antibiotics

I've been usung the johnsons cornstartch baby powder and it looks better then it was

You're all going to think I'm nuts, but it really does work. My son had thrush for the first 8 months of his life, and he used to get diaper rashes that bleed. My doctor recommended eye wash. Yes, eye wash. It works like a charm. One use and the rash was already much better.

Bausch & Lomb: Collyrium for Fresh Eyes, Eye Wash

Doesn't have to be this brand, just an example. You can find them at any pharmacy. I got mine at Walmart.

It was a godsend for us. Just put a bit on a cotton swab, wipe it on, don't be stingy. Let it dry, and then a bit of powder and re-diaper. Use after each diaper change.

I found that creams where great for preventing a rash, but not so great at getting rid of one once it started.
