Why does the rash get worse when I switch back to CD? - Page 2

post #21 of 22
My DD used to get rashes with citrus she didn't if I had it and nursed her at least nothing obvious but when shes was a toddler she loved mandarian oranges and sucking on lemons and she soon developed super bad rashes the "chemical burn" kind. I coated her bum in coconut oil kept her away form the citrus and the rash got a lot better.

Back in Disposables again - sigh

Just an update for you mamas who were so kind to take the time to reply. Saw ped today and after I went through my laundry list of EVERYTHING i've tried to rid this rash, he said I'd already done all the recommended things and at this point, it doesn't look yeasty or like a food allergy. Sooo....he's chalking it up to her having super sensitive skin (DD#1 and I both have bad eczema/skin problems) and now we're trying hydrocortizone 2x a day plus continuing with a barrier cream. THerefore, back in sposies cause I read somewhere else the hydrocoritsone could ruin stash.

Hoping this helps. Dr. said he thinks we're looking to manage it at this point not send it away, since it apepars it has a mind of its own. Sigh. I don't like doing a steroid, but I don't know what else to do at this point. Going to give it a week and see where we are.

Awaiting RLR in the mail and then I'm stripping my whole stash and switching to soap nuts again once we're back in cloth.
