good ol'vaseline should help. And it's cheap, too. Put it on real thick and the "stuff" won't be able to get to your skin. That is all a friend of mine used on her son and he never had diaper rash at all.goodluck.

I got some generic tucks pads and some balmex. Its still sore but not as bad. Hopefully by tomorrow it will feel better. I plan to keep up a high dose of lomotil and give it a "rest" hopefully for a day or two!

Taking it one day at a time.....

Zincofax - extra strength - will immediately stop the burn.
Also, Gerber diaper cream with oatmeal is also good. It's a bit thicker, so it doesn't feel as "slippery". Sorry if TMI.
Hope your butt burn goes away - I hate it when I get that!!
Love, A.

Ouch!! You poor thing!! I hope you've found a remedy that works for you by now! A long ride in the car would be most uncomfortable! Personally, I have a prescription cream Proctosedyl. It's alright, but not great.
HUGS!!

Pure shea butter helps. Hope you feel better soon.
Here's a Shea Butter Company that is great and they don't gauge you for money.

Ok here some advice only because after birth the bum is quite sore! Use the Tucks pads sparingingly because they will dry you out and make you itch. Use baby cream like the Butt Paste one or desitin. Also when Noah had really bad diaper rash I put together a homeade remedy from the doctor that uses Mylanta and Caldescene (sp?) poweder. Mix in 1 tablespoon of Mylanta and 2 of the powder and apply. It really works!!! Hope things are better!!!

That reminds me of the homemade ointment our pediatrician recommended when our son had a really bad diaper rash once (before we found the butt paste). They called it Happy Hiney Cream. ha ha! It was equal parts of aquaphor, anti-fungal cream (like lotrimin), mylanta, and hydrocortisone cream. Worked like a charm!

Another vote for vaseline here! Also "bag balm" is good.
