[QUOTE="Star*, post: 459194, member: 4964"] She may have an allergy to laundry detergent and bath soap, shampoos. Try asking her to swithching washing her things in DREFT as well as her sheets, and her wash cloths and towels that she is drying her off with. STOP using butt wipes. Start using plain water and a mild detergent like phisoderm or some other non-detergent washing agent that does not contain sulfama - or FB Marg and check and see what else could be used. I was allergic to carpet and wool. Polyester made me itchy and to this day if I wear wool? I get a rash. If she is SITTING outside in the yard in grass??? It could be the grass. I'm more inclined to believe that her skin has been treated recently with SO much that it's just confused at present and needs time to either be confirmed as a bacterial infection in which she needs a good wash and an oral antibiotic. Or perhps it's a fungal and a topical ointment such as a a womans external anti-fungal (sold in every Dollar general for around $5.00) would do the trick. I would say it's easily decided - buy the antifungal - put on one side of her inner thigh and if the rash goes away? She will know it's fungal (yeast) and then increase her intake of needed nutrition- best to talk to a nutritionist and find out what would be best for a baby her age. I'd say Gogurt - or yogurt but both are high in sugar. That may complicate the problem and if SUGAR IS the problem causing the rash/yeast infection (which may be - depending on if diabetes is common in their family and she hasn't been tested for juvenille diabetes and may want to be should this rash be a recurring thing or kindey problems) then I'd find a doctor in a bigger town that could give me some answers. My niece had reocurring rashes all her infancy and had/ has kidney problems. Hope it's nothing serious but this is why everyone pitches in their knowledge. And as far as reilief? A little tepid sitz bath of epsom salt for healing and a little baking soda for the itch - helps a lot. [/QUOTE]
