My baby is having a problem with getting rid of a diaper rash.

I have tried the following:

-Diaper rash ointments such as, A+D, Desitin (Zinc Oxide), and pretty much any other diaper rash ointment I can get out of the store.

-Corn starch and baby powder with cornstarch.

-Gold Bond medicated powder.

-Gold Bond Cream.

-Using baby wipes only when wet washrags are unavailable.

-Of course, diaper changes more frequent than normal.

-Letting it air out. (Diaperless crawling baby doesn't work so hot.)

-Using a blow dryer to dry the area.

I have gotten rid of most of the rash, but there are places left on his bottom that is still red and sore.

It isn't severe enough for me to feel he needs to go to the doctor, or trust me, we would be there already.
He seldom gets rashes, and when he does, they are usually difficult to completely get rid of. This one is being especially stubborn.

I know the cause already.
He is eating solid foods for three meals a day now, at 30 ounces of milk a day, 6 ounces of 100% fruit juice a day, plus his favorite snack, shredded wheat, a couple of times a day. Which means, the more he eats, the more frequently he moves his bowels.
(In case you are wondering, his pediatrician is aware of how much he consumes in a day, and says he is right where he needs to be on that.)

He isn't consuming anything new for it to be caused by allergic reaction. He is prescribed Benedryl to take in the event that happens.

He isn't ever left wearing dirty diapers, it is just that the sensitive skin on his bottom isn't used to all that pooping, which is recently 1-2 times daily.

So that is all of the information I can think of that can be helpful for you to help me.

Any suggestions of other home remedies I can try to get rid of this rash?

I use a homemade herbal baby powder that I make myself and my baby never gets diaper rash anymore. He used to all the time before I started using this, seriously. Here is an article that tells you how to make it and it should prevent any further rashes:

Hi. Red is my favorite color to dye my hair and I always use manic panic. There are several colors that work well and some work better than others. I recommend reading this article: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/915827/how_to_dye_your_hair_a_vibrant_color.html?cat=69
It covers all the best manic panic dyes, which ones last the longest and how long, etc.
It should help you make a decision. Good luck!


not sure if this is the right catagory but has anyone with dark hair used manic panic hair dye without bleaching their hair first? i was wondering how it might turn out if i tried dying my hair blue without bleaching. my hair is medium brown. someone on the website has and it turned out pretty blue but i'm still not sure, also where can i buy it?

I have died my hair with manic panic without bleaching first and I also have dark hair. It depends on the color you use how it will turn out but usually it's not too bad. I wrote an entire article about it and which colors work best without bleaching. You can read it here: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/915827/how_to_dye_your_hair_a_vibrant_color.html?cat=69
It should help you.


I want to dye my hair blue... no... I MUST dye my hair blue! bright blue! the problem is that I have dark hair and I've never dyed it before and I think I have to bleach it blonde first then dye it blue for the color to show up. Is that going to ruin my hair and make it all crackly and nasty? (link)
No, of course not. I dye my hair usually on a bi-monthly basis and my hair is gorgeous.

Read this article on finding and using the right dye and caring for your dyed hair if you want to make sure you do it right and keep your hair pretty.
