After trying several barrier/healing ointments + some home remedies, I decided to try Desitin. We had been using sudocrem around the stoma, which worked to combat the rashes, but on the bottom it didn't work very well. We tried hydrocortisone which also made things worse. We used mustard oil which controlled the rash for a few days and then it came back.
The skin was peeling and bleeding and I read rave reviews of desitin everywhere as if it were parents' first choice.
Desitin Maximum Strength contains 40% zinc oxide, which is the highest amount a diaper rash cream can contain.
The blue one is for daily use. Purple is for a severe rash that does not go away.
We massaged his butt with desitin after every diaper change and it really was wonderful and my baby no longer has a rash.
