Several months back, we had a battle. Maddie's groin area was constantly red and it looked awful! Every time I went to the doc I got a different answer: rash from food, yeast, too much juice - you name it, we heard it and tried it! Nothing was helping, I was ready to cry along with her - I mean as a women - wow - it looked painful and all I could do was try to help!
Finally one night she itched it open and I freaked (blood and all down there ... Millions of bad thoughts ran through my head until I realized it was from scratches) - thankfully my own personal super nurse hubby assisted while I freaked, lol. The next day we headed back to the docs - and YAY - the best doc was finally off maternity leave. She diagnosed it in 10 min - we had the rash disappear in a week and we haven't had an issue since (except minor flare ups)! What was it, you ask? Eczema - simple hydrocortisone cream for a day and eczema cream when it looks like she's getting a flare up.
Eczema cream trials:
The doc recommended eucerin cream.
It wasn't bad, but was kinda runny and had a slight scent.
Then I found aveeno Eczema cream
I love aveeno products - it is all I use for washing on my kids. This product rocks for her - it's a thicker base, and no sent to bother her.
I've also tried some of my own recipes for lotion for her - stay tuned on my trials!
