Triple Paste Medicated Ointment for Diaper Rash, 16-Ounce

For minor redness in the diaper area, other products like Desitin and Aveeno seemed to work well to clear up the irritation within a day. When a more serious rash broke out causing the skin to look very raw (and possibly broken), a week or two went by before we switched to Triple Paste, which has steadily repaired the long term damage. The cream is thicker and drier such that it can be applied very thickly. It seems less likely to be completely rubbed off or absorbed by a diaper. Interesting ingredients include lanolin (used in nipple creams), beeswax, cholesterol, and oat kernel extract. We're going through the 1 lb tub quickly but the steady improvement is worth it. Perhaps earlier intervention with this cream the next time will mean that less is used on the whole.

My poor 6 week old baby girl had a pretty bad diaper rash. Her skin was raw and bleeding. She screamed at every diaper change. We tried Desitin, A&D ointment, Balmex, and plain old corn starch. Nothing helped at all. I went online and looked up some info and found this stuff. I went to my local 24hr pharmacy at 1am and bough the 2oz tube. It made a huge difference from one diaper change to the next. It is a pricier than the other stuff but my baby's comfort is well worth it. I'm going to buy the 1lb tub and make sure I use it at every single diaper change. I don't ever want to see my baby suffer with another diaper rash. Don't waste your money and more importantly your baby's comfort on anything else. Just get this stuff first.

When our son was a few weeks old, he started to develop a diaper rash that turned into two big open blisters, one per side, that stayed open for three or four weeks.

1) First visit to the doctor: let him air dry for a long time after diaper changes, and switch between Desitin and Vaseline. No progress, growing frustration.

2) Second visit to the doctor, a week later (different doctor): oh, you should use Neosporin (a topical triple antibiotic). Our son develops dozens of tiny new blisters, so we give up after four days.

3) Third visit to the doctor (again, a different doctor): buy Triple Paste - it's thick and will form a barrier. The blisters started to get smaller immediately, and were gone within a week. We now use this paste regularly, prophylactically.

4) Yet another doctor (quick tip: don't let anyone try a spinal tap on your newborn unless there is a really good reason besides a single unconfirmed high temperature reading)...Read more
