Bad nappy rash!

[Tilly]

Hi all,

Bethanie has had very slight nappy rash once or twice before (she has very sensitive skin and eczema so we use oilatum bath oil and Aqueous cream on her skin).

A few days ago, I noticed her skin was red, but today it is a complete state. I don't know if she went properly in the night and was laying in it until the morning, but when I went to change her it was bright red and had little patches of cuts that were bleeding. We have aired her for a good while a few times today but it only seems worse now! She is in pain when we wipe her (not surprisingly I know).

I don't know why she has this, I change her as soon as she goes, leave her to air out, use sudocrem and don't make her nappy too tight.. also my boyfriend noticed what looked like black dots around the area (I don't know if they are black, or just little bloody pinprick type things that appear to be black).

Im worried now, do you think I should carry on as im doing or get her to the doctors? and also, is sudocrem enough or is there a different product I can use (stronger, especially for nappy rash).

Thanks
