Logan went to the Dr's on Thursday and he said to use the triple paste =

OK...I missed the original post here....but last year Devon had the =
wicked
rash from hell that lasted from January (when he got the flu) thru to =
April
when finally I brought a shopping bag FULL of both over the counter =
creams
and powders AND prescription creams to the pediatrician's office with =
Devon
so Dr Bell could see his poor bleeding/raw butt :o( NOTHING  we tried =
made
it go away including yogurt, Nystantin, Balmex, Sween cream, Bag Balm, =
Butt
Paste, Caldasene powder....you name it we tried it!!!! The doctor just
cringed when he looked at it...I think he thought I had been exagerating
how bad it was. I told him he just had to tell us something that would =
make
it better and fast....we just couldn't stand it anymore...poor boy just
screamed when he tinkled and had a BM and when we had to clean him...we
changed him VERY often in an effort to keep him dry as possible. The =
doctor
prescribed Clotrimazole and Betamethazone Dipropionate Cream. It's a =
generic
for a very strong cortizone cream from what I'm told. Interestingly =
enough
it says on the box it comes in not to use on genital/diaper area...and =
the
doctor said not to use it any longer than necessary because it will thin =
the
skin. I couldn't wait to get home and put it on his poor raw/bloody
butt...and ya wanna now what??? Within like 4 hours (2 changes) =
later...the
raw and peeling skin in his groin and the bloody butt crack and =
surrounding
area were like a pink shadow of their former raw and bloody selves!!! I =
felt
like building a shrine to this cream!!!! We were sooooooooo grateful :o)
Devon currently has one of these rashes again and I'm almost out of the
miracle cream from heaven :o( Our doctors office is closed until after
Hurricaine Frances passes...will reopen Tuesday....so I'm using it very
sparingly until I can get somemore.
