Almost 3 Year Old's SEVERE Dry Skin

My son's skin has always been real dry, but especially in the past year or so. I'm quickly running out of ideas on how to help it. He's almost 3 years old (will be three at the end of next month). He has big patches on his scalp that hurt him when I try to gently comb it out after his baths to get some of the patches out. He'll let me do it real gently for a little while and then pulls his head away and says it hurts. Baby oil to loosen them up and cradle cap treatment by Orajel have helped as little short term fixes. Both are messy,...

Burning Her Bottom!!!

My one year old has had really bad diapers lately. It seems like once or twice a day she explodes a diaper, which I change immediately, but where ever the bm touches on her little bottom she has horrible blisters. She has the worst case of diaper rash and I can't figure out what is causing these nasty diapers. She has been really, really cranky and not sleeping that well either (not that she ever slept that great to begin with). I just switched her to milk but have to wonder if that is the problem because I love dairy products and that didn...

My 3 Year Old Daughter Has a Closed Vagina.

My 3 year old daughter has a closed vagina. She was prescribed an estrogen cream a last year, which seemed to work. But, not long after we stopped the treatment it re-sealed itself. My daughter hates the medicine and I can't blame her, it makes her skin red and sore. Vaseline helps a little, but I still feel like I'm intruding...and, she hates it!!!! Our pediatrician is recommending that we consult with a specialist. When it's closed it's not red or sore...she is able to urinate. My instincts are off right now, part of me feels like I...

Trying to Break Daughters Habit of Licking Her Mouth, It's So Chapped and Red

My daughter is 3 years old. She has developed this habit of licking all around her mouth. It's all red and chapped all the way around! We keep telling her to stop licking when we see her doing it. But she doesn't even relize when she is doing it. Is there something I can put on her that will protect the chapped area, maybe keep her from licking, but that isn't toxic if she licks it? Is A&D cream, petroleuim and lanolin, going to make her sick if she licks that? Maybe something that tastes bad so she will break the habit. Help! She...

4 Year Old Figgity and Shaky Hands

Hi Moms...something heavy on my mind tonight. I picked up my daughter at preschool this afternoon, and asked how her week was, I was asked if I had ever noticed her hands shaking whenever she does fine motor skills...cutting, gluing etc...also, mentioned that she is never still, always wiggling something. Well, the shaking my husband noticed and is concerned about...I always thought it was a growing thing and would work itself out. When she was younger, she would always get the desitin or A&D, and I would find a little on her lips, not not...
