Never Underestimate Nappy Rash

My son caught nappy rash after the 1st week of his birth. Initially, it was just a red bum that was caused by nappy liner. We actually overlooked it and left the wet, washable diaper on and the result was a big, fierce looking like pimple with pus.

My father immediately asked me to send Issac for a check up in the 2nd week. The doctor was not pleased as it was a terrible infection and we had to wash his bum with an antiseptic wash and apply with an anti-fungi cream. Also, we had to send Issac for his check up regularly.

Every weekly check up is a painful experience as the doctor will use a thick-looking needle to poke the boil so that the pus can be released and Issac will cry madly in pain. It is really painful to watch Issac crying in mad and yet we are not able to alleviate his pain.

Now we are monitoring his bum till now. The regular changing of wet diaper and cleaning up have become a routine for us. Never underestimate the power of nappy rash!
