Sorry to probably rehash a tried and tested topic!
I tend to find I get rashes on my sides (suppose it's where your trouser pockets are to pinpoint it - below the hips) when the warm weather kicks in. My bits and pieces are fine. My bum is too. It's literally my sides only. Red lumpy bumps that itch.
I've tried baby power to clear them but that usually doesn't do much. I've tried a yellowish nappy rash cream from the supermarket that's also a but useless. I've also tried Sudocrem. The only thing to clear it is airing out for a few days but that makes wearing diapers tricky as it instantly makes the problem come back unless it's completely cleared.
I do tend to wear plastic backed products as I have no faith in breathable ones staying put without constant refastening. Half tempted to get a pack of breathable diapers though to fall back on as a necessary evil.
Does anyone have a good tip to stop nappy rash appearing in the first place? Rather than treating the symptoms after the event does baby powder or creams actually prevent it appearing if I keep it up with every diaper replacement?
Can anyone recommend a particularly good breathable product…? Been a couple of years since I have up on the Tena breathable diapers and Molicare wasn't very good either. Nor was Lille.
I'm in the UK so any locally available product suggestions appreciated.
Thanks all
