Simple but oh so effective.
AP in California -
To make your paste you will need vaseline (petroleum jelly of some sort) and 100% pure corn starch. Add the vaseline to a small container that you can reuse and start adding corn starch by the spoon. Mix with a butterknife until it is worked into a paste. How thick is personal preference. It works regardless. For me, the more starch the better. Apply it generously to the affected area. The starch will absorb the bad stuff and the vaseline will keep your childs bottom lubricated. You'll be surprised at the next diaper change. I went through numerous products and had the answer the whole time at home. Have fun. . .

Sulfer and vasoline
Katie Eagle in Georgia -This came from my husbands grandma. We used it on all 3 of my children when the rash gets bad. Go to the pharmacist and ask for sulfer powder. Mix a little with Vaseline and apply to babies bottom. Over night it will be cleared up for the most part.

Simple Egg White Cure.
Martin. in Ireland -When my three boys have had bad nappy rash we take an egg white, whisk it for a couple of seconds just to get a couple of bubbles started on it , still clear though, then rub lots(be generous) gently onto sore bottom, save the rest in the fridge for the next three-four nappy changes. Baby normally feeling better and bottom looking much better within hours !

Corn Starch
Gabby in Houston, TX -My niece is just about the most delicate child when it comes to her bottom. She cant use any scented whipes, or certain brands of diapers. If you want FAST, and PAINLESS treatment that works you should try something my grandmother told me. Corn Starch, I specifically use a brand in spanish "Maicena" its amazing, please try it.

Chamomille Tea
Gabby in Houston, TX -Another thing you can definitely try alternately to corn starch is chamomille tea, or in spanish, te de manzanilla. Boil some on the stove and let is cool to a nice comfortable warm temperature. Take the baby [or whoever] and rinse the bottom with the chamomille tea. Its refreshing, let the baby's bottom soak in it for a couple of minutes. Then let the baby's bottom air dry. Rash should be gone in a few hours. Good luck.

In agreement
Anonymous in Iowa -I was so happy that someone commented on vaseline not being a "natural cure". Please, please, please switch to naturals/organics (there is a difference between the 2)and really educate yourselves on how safe the products our government approves really are--many are banned in other countries. You and your baby may still break out from natural/organics if extremely sensitive, but I am positive putting cancer-causing products onto adult or child's skin (it will be absorbed into bloodstream)is not something we would view as nurturing. California Baby products are a fav of mine if you'd like to go the route of commercial products. They often contain calendula which someone did mention worked for their child. More expensive, but that's because they are not using the cheap, dangerous, synthetic stuff. Another note: even products sold in natural health food stores can have unhealthy ingredients, such as parabens. Know your stuff and check labels.
