Nappy Rash

Since coming back from Malacca abt 3 weeks ago, Elly started to have some nappy rash. And as the days goes by, it is getting more and more severe. Had been to 2 doctors , the latter asked to change the shower bath and cream to Sebamed.

Trying to trace back what caused the nappy rash, i found these.
1. Long hours on Pampers (3 nites and 3 days consecutively)
Me being the lazy Mom trying to avoid bringing bags of napkins back to Malacca made me opting the 'short-cut' by giving Pampers to Elly

2.Change of baby cream from Pureen to Drapolene
I have a Drapolene in the baby travel bag, and throughout the stay in Malacca, i used Drapolene on Elly

3.Applying fungus medication on Elly as the first Doctor claimed the nappy rash was fungus. Perhaps the strong medication made the nappy rash worse.

4.Generous amount of Drapolene used by Elly's babysitter
She claimed that the medication by the Doc made the nappy rash worse and went on to apply 'generous' amount of Drapolene on Elly

5.Elly have active sweat gland
The sweat makes the area damp causing the nappy rash got worse

The above are all probabilities. Called the 2nd Doc yesterdat nite. He advised to not to put anymore Drapolene on Elly as some babies are allergic to Drapolene. Asked to use Sebamed for one week to see the result. Me being anxious, keep on jumping to conclusion that Sebamed did not help after only trying for a day.

Now,Elly is on napkins and i did not fold the napkin but instead, let the nappy rash area open to air. My daughter is 'semi-bogel' for these few days...
