Is it diaper rash ? or what?

Question

My daughter has never had a diaper rash before . 3 weeks ago we went to babies r us and used their mother s room and their baby wipes and diaper that they had there . we were just stopping for a quick buy and she went poopie . after getting home 30 mn after i changed her and at night i realise she had "pimples like" all around her feminine area, next day it became a bit wrinkly. it doesnt look anything like diaper rash pictures on the web .( also she is black so i wouldnt know the difference , most kids on the web are white so it red ) hers are not red , they re just like little bumps ,pimples kind .. it is been 3 weeks now that i goes and comes back and her diapers arent never on her more than 2 at most 3 hours . they re never really wet . maybe 2 or 3 pees . about 2 months ago i switched her from huggies to pampers in order to support the one pack-one vaccine campaign.. we used it for at least 3 weeks prior to these symptoms . what could it be ? diaper rash or allergie.

PS:we have been using desitin for those three weeks now but it is still there . if it is diaper rash , which cream should i use . and also i try to rinse her area with warm water before another diaper and leave her diaper free for at least 15 mn every now an then throughout the day . what should i do ?

Answer 1

It sounds like you are doing all the right things. The way you are describing it it sounds more like an allergy. You may need to switch back to Huggies. You could try Dr. Smith's diaper cream if Desitin isn't working. The diaper free time is excellent!! I wish more parents would do this!!! Good luck with your baby girl....

P.S. If the rash does not get better after a change of diaper brand and cream, I would definately put a call into your pediatrician to make sure all is well. Again, Good Luck!!  

Answer 2

it may be some kind of reaction to the wipes or diaper that you used.  

Answer 3

never heard or seen something like this. the only time ive seen wrinkling is towards the end of a diaper rash when its drying and clearing up then its gone. its been too long and if i were you i'd have her pediatrician check it out. is it bothering her? i say go to the doctors and see what they say.
