  |

| My daughter has had the pimples for a month and they keep coming back. She's been out of nappies since the first round, but also wears pull-ups at night. Let me clarify that we use Huggies...anyone else or is this just a coincidence? |

|

Hello,
My 2 year old has the same thing going on. She cries so hard when I touch them. It has been going on for almost 3 weeks now. I am taking her to the doctor today. It seems to be spreading down her leg and up her back. She is only in pull-ups at nap time and a diaper at night. Otherwise, we wear big girl underwear all day. They seem worse today, after her bath last night. I don't know what it is or what to do to help her. She just says "my poor butt, mommy". It breaks my heart to see her hurting. |

| I'm thinking it is the pull up ... the "cool when wet" pullups! My daughter starting getting this crazy rash ever since I started using them! |

|
|
| My daughter had a rash sort of like that, only it was in her armpit and down her arm. A doctor friend of mine said that it was caused by a virus called Molluscum Contagiousum. It is a virus that is solely contained in the bump. When the bump bursts, the white from inside contacts with the skin spreading the virus. Each bump can last about 3-4 months before it bursts. There is no remedy for it at all, the only thing to do is to try and keep the white from touching any skin. My daughter had a real bad case of it and my husband and I finally decided that we needed to pop them to control the outbreak. We would pop a few per night and put alcohol followed by a bandaid on each wound. This was very painful for my daughter, but we finally we able to get rid of the virus. Hope this helps. |

|

My daughter is 4 and potty trained through the night. and recently she has gotten two large painful pimple like bumps that are causing her a lot of pain. I am treating like diaper rash as well, but there is no diaper or pullup involved to speak of.
I was thinking a yeast or viral infection but was going to wait until it tries to clear up before going to the doctor.
Don't have any answers but wanted to mention that it is happening to a non-pull up child as well. |

| Mulluscom contingiousm is a flesh colred or pearl like vessicle or bump that doesn't have a head. In fact it has a dimple in the center and can be hard. It is viral, highly contagious, but goes away on its on in 3 months to 4 years. A dermatologist can confirm it and spead up the healing process with curettege or freezing it with nitrous(spelling?) oxide. Most people on this site are describing a bacterial like infection. A pimple like bumb with a white head can be bacterial. Please ask your doctors to culture (swab the site) to see what bacteria it is. My opinion is that most docs opt out of this because of the cost factors in a culture swab and will lose out on insurance money if they perform this test. There are staff and strep infections that can get out of control if not treated with the correct antibiotic combo. Treating with the wrong antibiotic can lead to mrsa infections. MRSA is a staff infection that has become resistant to antibiotic therapy. I found this site trying to find info about MRSA infections. I am worried about a pimple on my child. I am trying to change peditricians and loathe going to the walk in. |

I'm so thankful for your message. I really am beginning to think that it IS the pullups that causing this same pimple/blister/rash on my daughter's behind. She is 3 years old and potty trained, but still wears them at night because she does not seem to be able to make it the full 10-12 hours of sleep before having an accident.
I've been trying the cortisone cream and diaper rash ointments. I've not tried an antifungal yet. Nothing I've tried has helped much at all.....
Next step is to the pediatrician, but doesn't sound like that will come up with much of an answer according to all the other responses. I'll let you know if I get an answer!
Thanks!

Wow, I'm glad I stumbled on to this. As soon as I started using Pull Ups my son started getting this same pimply rash on his but and legs. He just became potty trained and I'll see if they go away. I took him once before to the Dr's and Doctor said it was a yeast infection and prescribed some topical antibiotic, but it did not work well at all. It is very frustrating that the Dr's dont take more time to find out the real cause. |

| My 3 yr old dd also has these and they also started when we began using pull-ups several months ago. It's so frustrating! I've been putting Neosporin on them, and they go away, but new ones show up a few days later. I think it's a combination of bacteria from the diaper area, heat friction and infected hair follicles. Look up "folliculitis" and it's what our problem looks like. I can't wait for this girl to potty-train! |

| Posted: 08/31/08 - 01:50 Post subject: Stay AWAY From Pullups |
|
|
| My 2.5yo started getting HUGE pimples on his butt, stomach, groin area and legs about 2 wks after we started potty training using the cool when wet Pullups. The ironic thing is that I immediately stopped using the Pullups b/c they really weren't working (He treated them just like diapers only the diapers at least kept him dry) and bought training pants. He's now almost totally potty trained, but the pimples haven't completely gone away. I've been treating them w/tea tree oil and acne meds and they seem to be drying up. Anyway, if I don't continue to see progress, I'm going to try some of the remedies that I've read about here, but meanwhile, BOYCOTT PULLUPS! |

|
|
| My daughter had this early in the summer....did turn out to be rectal strep (started with the pimples, she scratched too much, got an infection that caused the skin around her bottom to turn bright red, spreading every day, and some blood in her stool.) Now she has the pimples again - it's been pretty hot and humid - maybe it has to do with the heat? But they are painful and she scratches a lot. |
