My poor little grandson has a really bad case of diaper rash, to the point he screams when he wets.  If any of you have ideas, I'm open to suggestions.  I feel so sorry for him.

I agree with the others. Desitin usually works. But if it isn't, it might be what he's eating and the diaper itself. Too much apple juice can cause diarrhea in some infants. My son could not drink it straight. It would give him diarrhea and then, the diaper rash. I always had to mix the juice with water or another juice. Secondly, the baby might be allergic to his diapers. Try changing brands. Good luck, Grandma!!

I have the same problem, My mom used dove dish washing soap. She said it gave us bubbles plus we didn't leave rings in the tub. They also have dove shower gel that would work as well. My son uses Oatmeal bath it works very well! He had very sensitive skin. There is also Johnston's Lavender baby bath I love it. (baby section) I am allergic to Aloe so I feel your pain. Good luck.

I feel for you.  I went through the same thing with my daughter when she was 3/4 years old.  She had a few painful bowel movements and then began holding them.  We went to several docs and even had a lower GI done on her (Horrible!!).  We were looking for evidence of Herschsprungs disease (When a section of the intestines or colon dies and stool can't get past that section).  She did not have this disease so we took her to a pediatric gastroenterologist.  He put her on a medicine called Miralax.  It is a stool softener.  She was on this for about a year.  He told me that since she was holding her poo she had stretched the rectal wall muscles and did not have as much sensation to know when she needed to poo anymore.  The longest she went was nine days.  But the average was 4 to 5 and I would have to give her an enema or suppository.  I even had to deimpact her twice (doc showed me how).  This medicine helped her bowel movements become soft so they weren't painful.  Eventually she became unafraid to go to the potty and we were able to wean her off the Miralax and she has been normal for almost three years now.  If you can swing it, a pediatric gastroenterolgist was the most helpful and you try and see one.  I know it is scary and frustrating at the same time.  good luck and I hope you are able to get it solved.

I would use this stuff called Butt Paste.  I have eczema really bad and my dr. told me to use that on my body. In reality it is made for diaper rash on babies. If it can be used on little baby private parts and it treats eczema then it should be great for your problem. You can find it anywhere you can find diaper rash cream. Good luck!!!

Being in the med field this sounds strange for to me to tell someone else, but try not bathing in soap or any other substances. Just H20 and avoid being too clean, my niece has the same issues, and avoid clothing that rubs? as far as topical treatments i have a natural remidies book that ~I can't locate~ try health food stores, maybe something as simple as garlic? there are many foods that aide the body in homeostasis!

If you can lube it off with lubricant.Maybe some ky or vasline/baby oil.If that dosent work, or if you get it off and his sac is hurt or discolored,take him to the er.I know it may be embarrassing for all of you(especially him), you want to have grandkids when he's old enough and married, right?It is funny though...poor thing.Take it easy on him.we all experimented, in some way, when we were young.Also, sit down and talk to him about all of the sex stuff, including this.So next time he knows NOt to use a vacuum..lol

Go to Walmart and go over to the aisle where there are foot care items like shoe insoles, and utter cream.  Buy some Crack Cream, really thats what its called, or the stuff in the bright yellow tube with the red lid, Corona Ointment.  Some places you have to ask the pharacy for it buy mom used to put it on our feet and then make us put socks on when we had dry skin and cracks on our heels.  Its wonderful!!!  People ever put it on their baby's diaper rashes and swear it clears up by one night.

First, I'd talk to his pediatrician and/or see a neurologist (I'm sure he's had one in the past with this sort of problem).  Second, ask the doctor (or look into it yourself) about enrolling him in sometype of therapy-- I'm not sure what type would be appropriate- in addition to typical therapy (emotional type- to help him find better coping strategies)also maybe you could enroll him in something like physical therapy or occupational therapy-- where at least they could maybe fit him with some type of helmet or device or install something on the walls to protect him.  Not sure if you live in an area where this is available or how affordable an option it is (I'm from a small town where these things just don't exist) but I would strongly recommend seeing the doctors and considering some sort of therapy.  I truly wish you and your child the best of luck.

Here am I.\n\nI asked a question for help reporting these types.\n\nAnother one needs his diaper changed.\n\nWhew what a mess !!\n\nBetter use plenty of baby powder.\n\nWe wouldn't want him to get a rash.\n\nStick a bottle in his mouth before the crying starts again.\n\nPut him on your shoulder and burp the little fella.\n\nThen rock-a-bye baby.\n\nPeace at last.

This might sound silly but the best thing is Sudocrem which is a zinc cream that is used for babies nappy rash.\nFrom experience it is brill for sunburn and sore skin\nIt protects and heals\nOr any own brand zinc cream (eg Boots own)

A humidefier would help. Also, saline solution in the nose and then suctioned out helps. Pedicare makes even infant cold medicine.  See this link:http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T089800.asp\nIf he doesn't get better, see a doctor soon!  Good luck!

Rashes are often caused by contact with an irritating substance (diaper, underwear, etc.) Sometimes hopsitable bills can become expensive. \n\nYou can take some extra pre-cautions until you are able to speak with your regular doctor. 1)Place the baby’s buttocks near a tap and wash down with running water after every bowel movement to give diaper rash relief. 2) Another common remedy is to Dab the area dry rash area with a soft cloth and apply Vaseline ointment or any rash-free creams or gel. \n\nIf the rash becomes worse than before, then I would seek medical attention ASAP.

Bed wetting is not that uncommon for boys to age 12, especially if there is a family history of it. The actual name for it is enuresis.  I have first hand knowledge of that, I had the same problem. You may try to limit his liquid intake for a few hours before bed time.  The "junk food" is not good for him though.  Too much fat, sodium, and starch.  It raises cholesterol and can lead to high blood pressure.  Not to mention obeseity and all the problems that go with that.  In class, and at his atudies, he may be bored or it may be something else. Yes, I think it would be wise to see a mental health professional. Good luck with your very special child!

No, wet shoes cannot cause a sore throat.  Only bacteria or a virus could cause this.  However, what your child endured was abuse.  Not allowing a child to use the bathroom when necessary is abusive, and a disgrace!  Make sure the principal DOES something about this incident, and don't take no for an answer!  Bless your child's poor little heart.  She must have been devastated.  Good luck.

Poor thing. Hopefully the chemist is open by now. For the skin I used Aloe Vera Bio Active Gel on my kids, as well as calamine. Cool baths helped. Piriton for the itch. Not sure about the mouth, but you could try ice pops. And lots of calpol/nurofen of course. Hope he's over the worst soon. Hang on in there.
