[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 263979, member: 1233"] Jess had similar reactions on her privates when her eczema acted up. We tried all sorts of things. If it seemed like her urine was strong, or her bms were runny, then I mixed up cornstarch and maalox and applied that. If it was a reaction to the urine it went away in 1-2 days. If it was yeast it got worse. LOTS worse. Then we used monistat. but if it was in relation to the eczema, then we used aquaphor on the bright red areas of her privates. I kept the tube kind and NOT the tub kind to help prevent germs getting into the aquaphor. It not only provided a barrier to further irritation, it also was very soothing. Regular vaseline couldn't hold a candle to the aquaphor. At the time we were using cortisone and/or elidel for the eczema, but they didn't help much. Again, I started with the aquaphor and it made a big difference. In the future we didn't even try the prescriptions. Poor Duckie, it is so hard for kids to deal with stuff like this. I hope she outgrows a lot of it. [/QUOTE]
