Almost 3 Year Old's SEVERE Dry Skin

My son's skin has always been real dry, but especially in the past year or so. I'm quickly running out of ideas on how to help it. He's almost 3 years old (will be three at the end of next month). He has big patches on his scalp that hurt him when I try to gently comb it out after his baths to get some of the patches out. He'll let me do it real gently for a little while and then pulls his head away and says it hurts. Baby oil to loosen them up and cradle cap treatment by Orajel have helped as little short term fixes. Both are messy,...

Yeast Infection & Diaper Allergy?

I have an 8 month old daughter. She has had a yeast infection for about 5 weeks now! I took her to the Dr. at the beginning. When she had the rash for 3 days. He presribed some yeast infection oinment. I put that on three times a day FAITHFULLY. It started to go away, then came back, but not as bad. Then it came back full force again. I took her again to the Dr. after three and 1/2 weeks of the ointment her precribed. He said it may be the fact that I had switched diapers. I was using pampers and never had a problem. Then I switched...

Is It an Allergy Rash, Hypersensitivity or What???

Hello ladies: I have a 61/2 mos old boy and I'm very concern. He has developed a terrible rash, on his little butt that at this point I'm not sure what it could be. It looks like he sat on a hot plate and got a serious burn. It mildly started about 2 mos ago and I took him to the pediatrician and she said to use hydrocortisone and if it continued she thought I would eventually either have to get a hypoallergenic diaper or use cloth diapers. I originally had some diaper changes and finally decided to go back to what he has been using since...

How Do I Get My 3 Year Old to Stop Licking His Lips So Much?

My 3 1/2 year old has been licking his lips and around his lips a lot the past couple weeks. As a result he has dry patches that are really red and even a spot that looks like it may have been bleeding a little. I have used vasoline, and chapstick on it but he continues to lick it. How can I get him to stop and what can I put on it to heal it faster?

Bad Rash on My 3 Year Olds Private Area

Hey everyone. I need some help. My 3 year old daughter is potty trained (has been for a little over a year). About 4 months ago she got this bad red rash on her girly parts. I already had a doc appointment for a check up so I told him about it while we were there. He checked her out and said it looked ok but he noticed from pushing on her stomach that she was constipated (I had no idea b/c she was still pooing!!) He said this was normal and sometimes when girls are constipated it causes leakage which can get into the girly area and cause...

Almost 3 Year Old Girl with Itchy Bottom

Hello- I am the mother of an almost 3 year old girl that has been complaining about her bottom itching for 2 months now. It is right between her two butt cheeks going up to the top of her bottom. We've been to her doctor twice now and he is stumped. Both times he's given us a dose of the pinworm medication even though we've never seen anything to indicate pinworms but he was grasping at straws. He said to put hydrocortisone cream on it but doesn't seem to be doing the trick any more. We have been potty training for a month now and...

Doctors Won't Help My One Year Old with Her Allergies

My daughter just turned 1 last week. She had colic and excema when she was first born. Her pediatrician thought she might have a protein allergy and put her on Nutramigen. We moved to another city and have been through five pediatricians now. Since coming off of Nutramigen and trying solids her excema has come back,she has a constant runny nose and a cough. She scratches so bad she makes her legs bleed. All the doctor's say here is that she has a viral infection. She has had severe symptoms since December and we can get no help. She...
