hi all, just wanted to post some info in case its helpful for anyone. my baby was on the special care baby unit for a month after he was born and was prone to very bad nappy rash - maaive angry, red and broken blisters... ouch! The docs and nurses used a special paste called 'orabase', which creates a complete moisture barrier to enable healing and worked amazingly. im posting now because the tube we came home from hospital with just ran out, and i am overjoyed to find you can buy it from online pharmacies wthout prescrption. i figured there might be some people out there who need something more effective than sudocreme but dont really want steroids etc. It cleaned up my poor babys bottom within a few days, great stuff, and i think it can also be used on ulcers which shows how well it holds off the moisture! hope this is helpful to some of you out there who have little ones with sore bums!!
