I say bathtimes what I really mean is "lack of" my gd is 8 months old & has quite a bad rash under her neck which seem to be getting worse although it doesn't seem to bother her.my dl says she trys' to keep it dry & puts cream on & it clears up & then it comes back so anyway i just nod & say ah poor thing....the problem iv'e got is i don't think she washes her that much let alone bath her(baby doesn't like it & screams) so obviously that upsets her(shes a new mum)so i think it's just probably sweat. I just feel sad that she never smells of baby talc but shes a grat mum so don't know how to suggest diplomatically TO WASH HER I haven't mentioned it to my son i know he does express surprise sometimes & has said occasionally she hasn't had a bath for a few days has she?to his wife I just find it very odd you would think shed enjoy that part of having a baby any suggestions welcome i get really upset about it privately but feel ashamed & can't talk about it to anyone through my love for dl

I used to use Infacare when I bathed my DC - that is probably a no-no today as well.

Obvious question is obvious: has a fungal element to the rash been ruled out if it keeps coming back?

DH is a GP and always advised me to try a wee bit of Canesten for a day or two on a rash that comes back, especially in possibly damp bits like wee folds, nooks amd crannies etc like the neck.

I don’t know if this tip is any use but thought I would pass it on?
