Hi, not especially mid related - but - if anybody has any brilliant ideas
for this next prob it would be great. All of my babies have pretty healthy
bums, but when they are teething have the most shocking nappy rash. My 23
month old is currently suffering, not potty trained yet - but the poor
aloe vera?

Hi Cheryl and all,
If a nappy rash, especially if the skin is broken, is around for two or more
days there is often a fungal element to it. Remember that fungus thrives in
warmth, darkness and moisture, all of which are often present in the nappy
region. Sometimes it's a matter of getting some ant
I've had a similar problem with my son in the past, and the rash turned out
to be thrush. I had to treat him internally thru his gut, feeding lots of

The only thing I can suggest is a cream called Penaten- I used it for my
boys and that was a long time ago but it always worked. I don't recall
what is in it, probably a zinc based barrier cream.
