Diaper rash bleeding
posted 4th Dec
I noticed last night that my son has a couple pin sized spots that are bleeding on his diaper rash. I have been applying sudocrem religiously every diaper change but I still see small streaks of blood on the wipes.
Is this normal or should I book an appointment with the clinic?

Bring him to the doctor it might be a yeast infection.

how long has he had the rash? any rash that's lasts more than 3 days and I'm at the pedi's office.
try a baking soda and water paste to help with the sting and use plain water and soft cloth rather than baby wipes which can make it worse.

stop wiping him. wash him off with Luke warm water every change & let him air dry. baby wipes can irritate the rash even more.

Let him soak in the bath and let him air dry. Definitely take him to the doc soon.

Yes, call his pedi. In the mean time, let him be without a diaper as much as possible. Always make sure he is dry before you put a diaper on and change as soon as you notice he is wet.
