My kiddo developed a nasty diaper rash. I don't know how/why. We are changing him every couple hours liked we have always done. This is his first big rash - like screams with diaper changes. He's been pink before, but those little rashes I've cleared up in a day or so with Desitin. Diapers and wipes haven't changed. He's recently started eating more solids and his poop is changing because of it. Also he's cutting his bottom 2 teeth (which can cause a rash per our daycare lady's experience). What can help it go away ASAP? I've been coasting him with maximum strength Desitin, but it hasn't helped one bit in the last 4 days. I don't know what I should do? This hasn't happened before and I feel so bad for him and his little tush. Help!

Update: Thank you all for your suggestions. After one of you mentioned the antifungal- I remembered a friend had told me about a Magic Butt Cream (years ago when her kiddo had a rash). So I Googled and got the recipe.

Magic Butt Cream

Mix equal parts.

-Maximum strength Desitin

-1% clotrimazole (athletes foot cream)

-A&D cream

-Bactracin

-1 tablespoon Maalox (reduces acidity)

It's been a day and a half and kiddos tushy is SO MUCH BETTER. It's not gone yet, but give it another day or 2 and it will be. 😀
