Yes, "Triple Paste" is the best! All the pharmacies don't have it, but if you find it, be sure, that is the best thing out there!

i did have the same rash when i was pregnant about 17 yrs ago - came also a few weeks before delivery, however mine was on my stomach & my ankles - it was so itchy, especially at nite.  my dcotors told me to hang in there that it would disappear almost immediately upon delivery of my baby, which it did.  they also reassured me that it was not harmful to the baby or me - just another annoying side affect of being pregnant!

Have you tried cortaid?  It also could be your laundry detergent... Its hard to tell  - it could also be fungal  which would require a prescription.....  If the rash not internal - try the highest caliber of cortaid you can find and change your laundry detergent to Dreft - to rule out an allergic reaction...... if that doesn't work - you'll know what to do.

Our pediatrician suggested Crisco. It works! Helps w/ rashes, too. I was pleasantly surprised.

I get an itch dry red rash on my back from tanning beds. Try laying on your side or switch to a stand up bed. Stand up beds are awesome and take 1/2 the time.\nThey wash that plastic and it is supposed to be sterile but I am sure there are oils and residue left behind and that effects people with sensitive skin.

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

tanning really helps this. also, salt water, or pool water. all of these things will clear it up.also, neosporin helps too. i figured that one out for myself. one day i was out of my cortizone(which also heps with itching) and i tried it, and it worked really great.

You could be just having a rash from heat. It could also be allergy to the laundry soap that you're using. Try to chage your laundry soap and rinse clothes well. Or irritation from too tight clothing.

My little boy went through this about a year ago so I feel your pain! I bought a treatment over the internet called Zymaderm from www.cbrmed.org. It's an all natural treatment made from tea tree oil,iodine and something else(I'm at a loss at the moment) It took a week or so to get the oil, but it worked wonders on my son! I put it on him once a day. Usually right before bed. After only 2 weeks, all of his bumps were gone! He had around 100 of these things on his chest. If I remember right, I paid around 38 bucks for the oil, but I promise you it's worth every penny. It will stop the spread of the bumps and it's much less painful than having them removed by the doctor. He's only got a couple of scars from the bumps, they were caused not by the oil but by the ones that were removed by the dermatologist. Trust me, from one mommy to another, try the Zymaderm. On the website, you can chat with someone and they'll answer all your questions. It was the best 38 bucks I've ever spent. My son is bump free now and there's no sign of them coming back. Please email me if you need any help. I know what your going through and how frustrating it is.

I have had these on and off for a couple of years. I was prescribed hydrocortizone cream but was not refilled my prescription. I was also developing rashes under my arms at the same time. I switched my anti-persperant from Degree to the Adidas one without aluminum and surprisingly enough it stopped both rashes after about 2 weeks. I also switched my soap from generic "sport" soap to Ivory, and that may have also helped.

I have a friend who's a Pediatrician. My son was having something similar. It was a somewhat mild rash that'd go away after a few hrs but reappear in a diff. spot. She said this happens randomly & they dont really know why. Its a harmless rash, doesnt hurt the child, and there's nothing they can really do about it. I cant remember what she called it though.... Since I've been letting my son sleep in only his diapers & with the ceiling fan on, he hasnt been getting the rash so i'm thinking this was heat related. You might try this.... 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!

You cannot go and see a doctor up there? I would try baby lotion, or something that obsorbs well. My sister used a lotion called cetaphor or something like that, her dermatologist said she should use it. She has eczema really bad on her arms and legs.  But I would highly recommend that if you are in the water don't stay in there to long, especially if it is salt water, this will dry it out more. Regular, cool water should be soothing if you have eczema, but don't stay in it to long. That lotion really worked for my sister.\n\nIf you are in a climate that is more humid than that can also help with the flare ups.\n\nYou can try something called "wet wraps". This is a treatment for eczema. Wet wraps are often made from articles of clothing that have been soaked in water. \nApply wet wraps to skin after soaking and sealing, and after applying any topical medicine. The wraps help keep skin moist and increase absorption of medicine. They also have a cooling effect. Re-wet or take the wraps off when they start to dry out.\n\n\nHope this helps. I know you said that when it gets wet it makes it worse, but this is a normal treatment, and you can get medicine to help with the rash.\n\nI to have mild eczema on my upper arms. Sometimes it can itch like crazy but its gotten better since I have been paying attention to it.\n\nGood Luck!

The main thing is to keep baby's diaper area clean and dry.  Try to change diapers a little more frequently.  My choice for treatment has always been Balmex.  Zinc oxide is too difficult to get off the skin.\ngood luck ~~

Try something gentle like Aquaban.  But only use it for a few days, not all the time!

you may be allergic to the detergent or dryer softener sheets used while cleaning your underwear. Have the person washing switch those for a while.\n\nFor the rash, use neosporin and desitin. mix it together and apply. Don't wear any synthetic, nylon , rayon, etc fabrics close to your skin. Go buy some cotton boxers and use those for awhile until this gets better.
