Diaper Rash, Only It's Not!

I have been fighting a horrible rash on front and back of my 3 year old. You name it, I've tried it. Thing is, my sitter can keep her for two nights and almost make it disappear. She is out of diapers except for at night and then they come off dry. We have compared notes for months and I cannot come up with anything that works from her house to my house. I took her to the dermatologist last week and came home with a tube of antifungal that looked about like a toothpaste tube for a co-pay of 63.00. It is making her skin bright red and...

Hand Foot and Mouth- Yowza!

Hi- looking for some advice. My poor 3 year old son has Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. Realized it Tuesday night and got him into the doctor on Wednesday. He is totally miserable, crying a lot (up hourly at night) and I feel so helpless. We're giving him ibuprofen (5 ML based on age/weight) every 6 hours or so but he is in so much pain. They suggested giving him a tsp of liquid Maalox every four hours to help coat the throat/mouth but that's been impossible to do. I don't know what I'm looking for exactly- do we just give him popsicles and...

4 Year Old Chewing a Hole in Her Lip- Help!

Our 4 year old daughter is constantly chewing her lip on the inside. It looks like a nervous habit. We catch her doing it often, riding in her carseat or watching TV. We remind her to stop. Last night she was eating and said the food was hurting her mouth. I got a flashlight and looked in there. I was stunned to see a huge open, excoriated area inside her bottom lip. It is the size of my thumnail and it looks awful, not to mention painful. We tried to ask her why she is doing it but she doesn't know. Has anyone else experienced this? What...
