[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427427, member: 1233"] Never heard of gaulding, but it sounds a whole lot like a yeast infection. I get them in my pits all the time - drives me nuts. I have sensitive skin and antiperspirant stings awfully when I get this. He needs to wash his pits several times a day when he is at home. Just whenever he uses the potty have him soap his hands up, wash the pits, then use a cloth to rinse. After that he MUST dry them with a soft cloth. He should put a few layers of folded up kleenex or toilet paper on the pits after he washes and keep it there for a little while. It will help keep it dry. using scraps of cut up old tshirt also works for that step. Finally, put some yeast infection cream on - the stuff you would use for a yeast infection. Miconazole or clotrimazole cream from the pharmacy area. OTC. I can get them to go away in a few days with-o the cream but I am not an active little boy so I am not allergic to soap. He will benefit from the cream as much as the washing often and drying often. You may want to then consider having him start to use antiperspirant daily. It will help keep the skin dry and this will help keep this from coming back. [/QUOTE]
