We made a return trip to the pediatrician today for the diaper rash that won't stop. Seriously, four different alternating medicines. I think there are chemo treatments less complicated than this.
I wish I had more for you, but it's just been that kind of day. Quick and mundane. Those days that you forget about. Later in the week, you can't figure out how time slipped by so quickly. I think that's part of why I blog. It forces me to think through my day, what I did, so I don't just drift. More tomorrow.
you've probably already tried this, but when isaac had a helluva diaper rash (i mean blisters) i was told to not use ointments with zinc oxide in them, only with lanolin. i used A&D ointment (the one in the yellow tube) and only used wet washcloths as wipes for awhile. it cleared up pretty quickly. i don't know if i'll ever use anything else...
ReplyDeletebut like i said, you may have already tried that. good luck..poor baby:(
I think the hives are from the zinc oxide. Tim's mom suggested A&D when she got diaper rash as a newborn. The Desitin wasn't touching it, but the A&D cleared it right up. This particular complicated rash is taking 2 alternating prescriptions, hydrocortisone and benadryl. We don't have skin left over for normal stuff. However, in general, I second you with the A&D.
