Does anyone know of a dermatologist in the area that takes Cigna insurance? I need Aida to be seen ASAP and the closest appointment I can get for her at PAMF is on Monday 4/7. She needs to be seen now!

I feel so bad for you and Aida. She probably has an allergy to milk, wheat or citrus fruit - they are the most common. (So you want to remove those from her diet for starters - just temporarily.) One of the best cures for diaper rash - if the usual ones don't work - of the usual Butt Paste is the best - is you have to do the homemade version which is simply Corn Starch and water. You mix it to a light paste that will stick to the skin - super cheap and super easy. When it is dry, you just put a light cotton panty on - so that it can breathe. When you bath her - it is luke warm water with Baking Soda in it. OK to shampoo her hair - but don't let the soap get on the rest of her body. Good luck guys - sounds like you have a mystery on your hands. I wish you the very best of luck. Dr. Sunnil is very talented - so I hope he can help you. I have some pretty good knowledge from my ColeBear - born in 1981 - she had an awful reaction to diapers - which of course - were cloth at the time. I think that was part of the reason why she was trained before 19 months. Take care. JB *BCI Jean Blocka 510-657-3686jblocka@blockainc.comjblocka@blockainc.com> *
