Nappy rash, teething rash or thrush?
in Baby
My DD is 8 months & has what I thought was teething rash on her bum for weeks now - comes & goes, varying in severity.
I have tried everything, Metonium, Sudocrem, Drapoline, Bepanthen, using no cream, banning wipes, washing her in the bath morning & night, changing her nappy every 16 seconds (exaggeration!)
Every time we take the nappy off ready for her bath she is scratching her noony to pieces & although I have put mitts on so she can have some 'air time' she still rubs it & makes it look even redder.
She even tries to scratch it in the bath & I have noticed her wriggling in a way that makes me think it's uncomfortable.
I don't know what to do, took her to Boots cos her face flared up too & pharmacist said teething rash.
Now someone who used to be a midwife has told hubby it could be thrush.
Can anyone help. I think I may take her to doctors but my surgery are total wan***s & you can't get in without a years notice (another exaggeration). Her sleep is also shocking & I look like i've been exhumed up HELP!

If you're having difficulties getting into the GP do you have a walk in clinic near you that you could go to? Most of the bigger Boots have one. Failing that, tell the receptionist that she's got a nasty rash and you need to see someone. My GP's surgery said they will always see babies and children with rashes the same day.
