This is the second bad diaper rash Esme has had in the past three months. In some places it almost looks like a weeping burn. She has been having some explosive 'acidic' liquid diapers and both times the rash came on within three diapers of the onset of 'messiness'. We're using frequent diaper changes with water rinses and cornstarch and/or diaper cream to try to get rid of it. It took about three days last time and this is the first day this time around.
Friday: There has been some improvement overnight with the treatment. She's upset that bathtime isn't 'duckies and toys' and is just frequent rinses. I think it was a reaction to something she ate which had a result so acidic it actually did burn her skin some. Been reading posts on the BC boards and changing her much more than often to try to clear this up quickly. Yesterday it didn't look 'awful' but it was enough over a large enough area for me to start treating it - a stitch in time saves nine etc... and when he saw that it was weeping through the cornstarch and a wet rash again minutes after cornstarching then Mark got a little more worried about it too.
