Diaper rash question

[karinothing]

So

DS has been on three different antibotics in the last 2 months. Basically I think we have only had one week or so of not being on antibotics. As you may have seen in my other post. He has been a mess at night

Apparently he just refused a nap (he hasn't done this in months). DH went to go change him and he has small pinpricks of blood between his butt cheeks. Do you think this could be a yeast rash?

After reading only your first sentence...my first thought was yeast. Did you give him yogurt or probiotics with the antibiotics?

[karinothing]

Not every day but he probably has yogurt every other day or so. I guess i will call the pedi. sigh

[karinothing]

OK the pedi gave me a concotion to use.

1 part lotramin
1 part cortisone cream
1 part barrier diaper rash cream

Mix and slather baby butt up. Hopefully it helps.

Bare butt time will help too. I hope he feels better soon.

If you CD, treat your diapers. I'd wash with bleach and use disposables until it's gone for a week. My son has yeast once and we were told to treat one week after symptoms disappeared.

I'm reading a handbook on allergies in kids. There's actually a photo of what you describe. "Red ring about anus. Children who have had repeated prolonged courses of antibiotics for infections often develop a red ring around the anus. This can indicate a yeast (candida or monilia) problem. This responds well to appropriate treatment." It goes on to say you may also notice the classic white-coated tongue and smelly hair and feet.

I hope your little guy feels better quickly!

Thanks for the information!
