Rashes in thigh

Hi,
May be my suggestion is oldfashioned, but stop using diapers and start using cloth nappies; you'll find a vast difference. Applying talcum powder in the folds of thighs is also advisable. After each nappy change apply powder liberally; this will prevent rashes.:idea

 

Yes you can use cotton nappies and also try calamol lotion. Calamol lotion is best for this and also has a cooling effect

hi ani,

did u introduce any new solid/liquid food to ur kid recently? if yes, u stop that food and check whether the rashes disappear gradually. Or else, if it just the heat rashes, then as 'booboo' mentioned, u can apply calamine lotion, by dipping it in cotton on the affected areas.

If you are using disposables on her, please ensure you let her go without diaper for a day or two. Apply coconut oil liberally and frequently throughout the day and let it air dry. If it is just redness, it will resolve with this treatment. If it has any blisters or if it looks worse, it is better to check wtih the paed.

Do not apply talcum powder, it will only make the problem worse. Powder will dry up the skin more. If baby is on disposables on a daily basis, always ensure that you give her at least half-an-hour "air time" twice a day with coconut oil on (it should air dry). Doing this on a daily basis will help prevent any rash.

hi,
stop using talcom.if talcom gets wet between skin fold due to sweat ,it creates rashes.even soap creates dryness.u can use milk on alternate days instead of soap.
after bath,dry baby & use coconut oil between all skin folds.
