ball problems

so a couple weeks ago we were at sam's and needed diapers. i don't like the sam's club brand (and they were out of the size we needed) and i don't like the huggies snug and dry, so we bought the pampers, which i used before with no problems.

after a few days, we noticed that caleb was touching down there a lot and then he developed a rash on his inner thigh, which we had seen before and just used hydrocortisone to calm it down.

the hydrocortisone did not work, then his dingding, balls and butt hole started to get rashy too. it was a different kind of rash...red, swollen, and rough feeling (kind of like what i imagine an elephant's skin feels like). caleb was in pain, asking to be changed as soon as he pees and walking like a cowboy. bocha time and diaper changes were torturous for him...screaming in complete pain.

took him to the doctor yesterday and doctor said it looks like a yeast infection (jock itch?) and gave us two creams to apply. started applications yesterday, and this morning it looks way better and he wasn't quite as squirmy with his diaper change.

not being an owner of a dingding, i didn't realize how sensitive that area can be. i mean, the chingching scares me cuz i'm always afraid brynna's gonna get crap in there and cause an infection, but i always figured that cuz a dingding is outside, it's not as bad. boy was i wrong. the issues we've had with the boy's man parts are pretty horrific...with not pulling back the foreskin enough and having to have doctor "rip" it at visits (ouch!!!) and now this massive rash down there. gosh. ball problems, i tell you.
