Hi ladies,

My ds is 5mnths next week and he has since birth has red and pink creases around neck and underarms. I have seen the gp a few times and swabs have been taken - all ok.

He did have terrible thrush after birth but that has now cleared (gp has also confirmed it has cleared).

The white parts associated with thrush has gone but the pink/ red remain. It looks so sore.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to treat?

I am very gentle with the areas, ensures it is dried properly after his evening bath by gently patting with a fresh clean muslin every night so the area is clean and as dry as possible.

Any ideas for creams?

I have found green baby lavender salve is very good for nappy rash etc

Though it sounds so nasty I am a bit surprised the gp isn't treating it - in my experience, if anything they are a bit hung ho even with a mild steroid/antibiotic or steroid/ anti fungal


If it is tiny red shiny raw crease marks, when

My children have had that, thrush cream seems to help

Little L has had that on her neck folds so many times! Looks so sore when it flares up. I used sudocream which helped a bit but the best cream I used recently was arnicare, it made it much better within 24 hours (says it's for bruises but seemed to do job) x

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
