She must be extra allergic to them.  She should probably see a doctor.  Don't worry.  If she's not sick other than the rash, it's just an allergic reaction on her skin and nothing bad will happen to her.

Have you talked to your pediatrician? My 4 month old gets it. They gave us samples of cetaphil. It comes in soap, liquid cleanser, cream, and lotion. I use the soap for bathtime and the cream for afterward and at random times throughout the day. The pediatrician did suggest something else if it got worse or infected, but I cant remember what. Cetaphil is just a mild, scentfree product. It has worked wonders on her skin. We were using aveeno nighttime stuff... babies with sensitive skin probably shouldnt use products with scents, it could inflame the sensitive areas. She also tld me that eczema tends to be heriditary and that it occurs in mostly fairskinned babies/people. Though some babies get it and grow out of it.

Just from what you posted, it sounds like a yeast infection.\n\nHave you been on antibiotics lately? They can give you a yeast infection. \n\nYou can get a yeast infection for a lot of reasons. Too tight clothes, antiobiotics, etc. \n\nIf you are the only person who has been down there (and I mean hands, too), then I would go to a drugstore and get some OTC medicine.

It depends on if it is yeast or not.  Keep her clean and dry at all times.  Let her soak in the tub and let her run naked for a while until the rash scabs up.  Keep a moisture barrier between her skin and any wetness.  You don't even have to go out and buy something special, like Desitin.  Crisco, from the kitchen, or vaseline work just fine.  If she does have a yeast or fungal infection, she will have to be seen by the pediatrician.  I have used, on occasion, ladies yeast infection cream on my son's little rear when he has had a difficult rash.  \n\nBut really, the key is to keep the area clean and dry.

Definition: Overgrowth of yeast can affect the skin (yeast rash ), mouth (thrush), digestive tract, esophagus, vagina ( vaginitis ), and other parts of the body. Yeast infections occur most frequently in moist areas of the body. Although Candida albicans and other Candida yeasts are the most frequent offenders, other yeast groups are known to cause illness, primarily in immunocompromised patients. These include Torulopsis, Cryptococcus, Malassezia, and Trichosporon yeasts. Diagnosis is by observation, and can be confirmed by culturing a stool or mucosa sample, or a scraping from the affected area. Treatment is by topical or oral antifungal medications. Acidophilous, a helpful bacteria that normally helps to keep yeast in check, can also be tried in supplement form or in yogurt with live cultures. See also Candida albicans, candidiasis, thrush, yeast vaginitis , yeast  rash.\n\nFor a vaginal yeast infection, an over-the-counter topical cream or suppository (a pill that dissolves in the vagina) containing miconazole or clotrimazole is typically suggested.  If over-the-counter medications are not effective, your doctor may prescribe a cream with terconazole or an oral antifungal drug containing fluconazole. \n\nHow Can I Prevent It? \n\n\nIf work keeps your hands in water for long periods, wear rubber gloves.  When you're done, wash your hands and apply a mild prescription or over-the-counter antifungal cream. \nWear cotton or silk underclothes, which, unlike nylon and other synthetics, allow excess moisture to evaporate. Wash and dry your underclothes thoroughly; change them often. \nDouching or using deodorant feminine hygiene sprays, tampons, sanitary pads or toliet paper can increase your chances of getting a vaginal yeast infection.  It may be helpful to eat yogurt in an effort to replenish the good bacteria that help your body combat the overgrowth of yeast.\n\nVaginal infections can be triggered by dozens of daily things, such as your sexual behavior, hormones (including hormonal contraceptives, changes in menstrual cycle), vaginal blood (from your period, irregular bleeding, etc.), anything inserted into the vagina (diaphragm, tampons, strings from an IUD), or medications (antibiotics, douching agents, antifungal agents, spermicides). Studies have even found that women from different races have different vaginal ecosystems, predisposing some groups of women to more vaginal infections than others. \n\nHope all that helps!

Assuming your daughter is an infant...  I'd visit the doc.  My first guess would be a yeast infection (yes, babies get 'em too).  Washing with soaps will probably just make it worse (just like douches and stuff CAUSE yeast infections in women, deodorants and soaps can cause probs in babies too).  The doc can give you a cream to use to make it better.  Frequent diaper changes and keeping clean (with water or baby wipes) is the best way to keep it at bay... but some babies just seem to get a lot of them anyways.  They generally stop once they're out of diapers.

this sounds like it could be whats called a ring worm , no it is not actually a worm ! its is a type of fungus however that is highly contagiouse ,you sould take your baby to the doctor because this well only grow bigger and if the area is in the scalp your child will require a special shampoo , if the spot is on some other area of the body you can purchase antifungal shaves that well help to heal the area , but it is safest to check with you doctor to first be sure that it is ring worm , and second to know if its safe to use an over the counter med . on your baby .   these are very common among children ! if you child is in day care its very posiable that this is where this could have came from , also you can contract them from your pets , and in rare cases dirt.  i hope i helped you and your little one !

It seems that Navidoxine contains Meclizine....\nNavidoxine\nGastrointestinal System > Antiemetics and Antinauseant\nContents: Tablets: Meclizine 2HCl 25mg, vit B6 50mg. http://www.pakmedinet.com/trade.php?id=163\nMeclizine is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Do not take meclizine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.  http://www.drugs.com/meclizine.html\n\nIf your OB/GYN prescribed this medication, it is probably safe.  Your OB obviously knows you are pregnant.  You can always reassure yourself by talking to your doctor about your concerns...

Yes. A lot of women get yeast infections when they are pregnant. You need to ask your obgyn what they would prefer you to use to get rid of it(normally the same as if you weren't pregnant). Some preganant women have it on and off through the whole preganancy and if you deliver with the infection it can cause your baby to have thrush witch is a form of it in there mouth. It can be treated with an antibiotic. taking antibiotics, birth control, using fragrant soaps and laundry detergants can also cause yeast infections.\n\n The vinigar thing is a bad idea!!!! Do as you wish, i'm not even going to explain why thats such a bad idea as it should be obvious.

This happened to me when I first found out I was pregnant and I'd never had one before. You need to talk to your dr. There are different types of yeast infections and the one needs antibiotics. I wouldn't use anything unless your dr oked it at this point. I remember reading that the first few months of pregnancy you can't take hardly any meds without it effecting the baby. I guess it is supper common for pregnant women to get a yeast infection. Like we don't have enough crap going on with our bodies! Well, congrats and good luck!

Vaginal yeast infections commonly occur during pregnancy, probably related to the high estrogen levels. Consistently high estrogen is the most likely reason that treatment takes longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy.\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that only vaginal medications, such as cream or vaginal suppositories, be used for yeast infection treatment during pregnancy. Treatment takes longer than usual during pregnancy; 7 days of medication is recommended.\nIf you are pregnant, do not use these nonprescription medications without first discussing your condition with your health professional.\n\nDiflucan is NOT safe to take during pregnancy.

Honey...I'm a mom.  Hate to ask this, but does it smell bad?  Have you been having sex with a boy?  If so, could be PH imbalance because of his semen.  Was this white liquid during waht was SUPPOSED to be your period?  These are all questions you should ask a gynecologist (female organs doctor) or (free clinic if you want to be private and not discuss with parents).  From a mom's point of view...I always encouraged my daughter (now 21) to duscuss with me these things.  We were honest and open with each other, and if there was something I didn't WANT to hear, I tried not to REACT badly, but help her get answers, then we'd sit down and discuss what caused this to happen afterwards.  I wanted her to trust me.  Show this to your mom and see if she would be open with you...then see the gynecologist.  Could be a simple yeast infection which are easily treated, but need a doctor to diagnose it and prescribe medication or over the counter medicine.  Never put off questions about your female health.  Good luck!  P.S.  clumps?  sounds familiar from when I was young, but the gynecologist is the best way to go.  Never be afraid of going to the doctor.  Be more afraid of ignorance, and not knowing exactly what's wrong.  If you find out all is okay, won't you feel MUCH better??  Go for it Dear....

bacteria.  Could be a yeast infection or other bacteria.  Could be a chemical imbalance.  Could be nothing.  See your pediatrician.
