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

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
