Not sure how to put this so will just be blunt


My baby has his first really bad bit of nappy rash causing him a lot of pain when I touch it so I'm trying to be as quick as possible with the cream


Do you put the cream all over or just on the rash?

Is it ok to put it right in his bum crack or it the anus bit too sensitive? can't really tell if the nappy rash extends in there


Any other tips? I'm considering breaking out the talc to avoid touching him as it really bothers him


Cheers

...hadn't noticed ref to talc!! Agree with Monkey to avoid the talc. Would suggest even less than a pea size lump would do - is much easier to add more than try and take any away/get it off your fingers afterwards! I use metanium on bugglet's bum every night and (touch wood) at 18mths she's never had anything more than a bit of redness on her bum.

Feeling your pain on the nappy rash front? :-/ Teething is just shite.


I just bought Metanium and it seems really good. Was previously using sudocrem or waitrose bottom butter but other than providing a bit of a barrier, they didn't seem to help.


Have to say I haven't been spreading it very thin, I've been lathering it on, mostly because it's easier and faster and there's less touching/rubbing because every contact makes my wee one cry in pain right now.


With any luck, it'll have done its job and he'll be less raw in the morning.

It's awful isn't it

Mines been going through a poo every nappy stage which has led to this, I'm wishing I'd done a bit of preventative cream but at least I know fr next time.

I think we will try to get a docs appt just t check him out. He isn't in as much pain today but it still looks very red.

Thanks for all the advice

Yes, docs a good idea as they can prescribe stuff if it's fungal. Lots of nappy free time helps, as does making sure the bottom is bone dry before you put on any cream. A hairdryer on the very coolest setting helps.


Good luck getting it sorted. It is really miserable for them, poor things, but it can be cleared up quite quickly.

We bought some metanium yesterday and his bum looks almost normal, so thank you very much for the tip. The difference is incredible.


Anyone else going though a green poo / poo every nappy stage, might be worth getting some in, just in case! Otherwise lloyds on north cross road stock it.

. . . and change his/her nappy a lot more frequently until it's gone.


Another Metanium fan here. Am well past nappy rash now but swore by it when mine were babies.


Is it possible that your baby is teething - disgusting nappies often go hand-in-hand with teeth arriving?

Sounds like metanium has done the trick for you. I do like Metanium but I absolutely LOVE raw egg white. It is the most amazing thing for nappy rash IMO and has cleared it up pretty much instantly whenever I've used it. It goes on really smoothly and looks so soothing, I swear by it and it's always my first choice when I see any redness (better on cloth nappies too). An old wives tale that really works!

    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.  
    • Some suggestions for mandatory action might include:- 1. Permit retailers to display facial images on the premises  of previous offenders at their local store. 2. Sound an alert and display images on screens inside the store when the FR flags up a person entering who is on the national database of shoplifters. 3. Physically bar recognised shoplifters from the premises. Should they attempt to force entry then charges should be pressed under aggravated trespass, which  a criminal offence under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. 4. Change the law to allow retailers to have enhanced powers of citizens arrest. What would you suggest? The UK seems to have the most lenient policy towards shoplifting , probably because of other demands on the police force. On the plus side, they may have more time for it now that non-crime hate incidents will no longer be investigated. Other countries, such as the USA have much more sever punishment as does Singapore where repeat offenders or aggravated cases can be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison, a fine, or both.
