Help with My Zit Face!!

I am 22 yrs old and getting married in June. Here in the last 6 months or so I have been having these terrible breakouts! I sure don't want to have them on my wedding day!! I have tried using organic products like Eminence and I have tried AcneFree facial products. Nothing is working for me!! The Acnefree burned and dried out my skin, and I was only using it 3 times a week. I do not have oily skin and usually only dry in the winter. I need some serious help with it for sure!! The breakouts are mostly on my cheeks and temples.

Desitin Diaper Cream

I have used Aveeno diaper cream on my daughter since birth with no problems. But when she got a rash it didnt seem to do much to heal so on rashes I used Destin. Well aveeno can be hard to find so I switched to Destin full time and I noticed my daughter crys when I change her diaper and put the cream on. Almost like the cream is burning her. She also messes with her self alot more when I change her like something her. Has this happened to anyone else?

Constipated 2 Year Old

My 2 year old son has been having trouble going poop. When he finally goes, it doesn't seem like it should have hurt that bad. It's not hard or anything. But he throws a fit every time he has to go. Then when i change him, he HATES to be wiped. This is all sort of recent, so i'm not sure why all of the sudden this is such a big deal to him. He acts like it hurts to be wiped but he has no redness or rash or anything on his bottom. I don't know what to do if he is constipated. He drinks prune juice and apple juice and a ton of water. He is a...

Severe Ezema & Croupe Cough

Hello! My son has severe ezema, and croupe caugh he has had both since he was a few days old. He was diagnosed with the ezema at 8 days old, we have moved to a cooler city, since the heat really bothers him. Everytime he breaks out, he gets the croupe a few days later. I refuse to dress him head to toe, since he then breaks out more, and screams so he is always, most of the time, in shorts and a tee. I do not know what to do, he have been working with our pediatrician and he gives us the steriod caugh medicine and the high cortizone...

Teething and Diarrhea

I was wondering if any other moms had infants who had diarrhea when they were teething. My 9 month old son has 4 teeth coming in on his upper gums and he has had diarrhea for the last 2 days which in turn has led to diaper rash. I know how to treat the rash, but I wanted to know if it was common to have the diarrhea. My pediatrician said that it can happen when they're teething. I haven't introduced any new foods and he's eating fine and not running a fever. Any suggestions or input would be appreciated. I'm hoping the diarrhea stops soon!!

4-Year-old's T-T Hurting at Night Only

My daughter's "T-T" hurts her occasionally at night (and she comes in to my room crying.) I generally put her in the tub, clean her and put vaginal itch/burn cream on her. She falls asleep after that fine and is always fine in the morning and next day. I am resisting taking her to the doctor as #1 I don't want her to be on any more antibiotics and #2 It's not every night and never during the day. She is only slightly red on her outer lips at the time, no other symptoms. I ask her if it burns when she pees and she says no. Any ideas on...

11 Month Old Has Had Fever for over a Week.

My almost one year old has had an ongoing fever the past week. I took her in twice to the pediatrician's office and they've taken blood tests, urine test and checked and told me everything is fine. I don't want to give her Motrin every day. Also her stool and breath has smelled really bad. I am tired of not getting an answer. Has anyone out there encountered this and what do you recommend? Thanks!

Severe Diaper Rash During Flu

My son who is 15 months old has had the flu for about 4 or 5 days now and has awful and I mean really awful diaper rash from all the diarrea he has had. What can I do to help clear it up and make it less painful. I am using just a spray bottle of warm water and paper towels to clean his bottom & was putting on generic Desitin but that doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice would be appreciate as we are both miserable and the doctor can't see us until next week.

Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease

My 2 1/2 year old has come down with Hand Foot & Mouth Disease (similar to chickenpox but not itchy). Most likely picked it up from daycare. The doctor said to only give him Motrin or Tylenol for pain. Since it is a virus, there are no antibotics to give him. I bought Aveeno soothing bath and some Aveen cream to make him feel comfortable. Has anyone else's children has the same disease?? Doctor said this is common in young children and goes away in 10 days.

Head Itches from Allergies

Hi moms! This is almost embarrassing to talk about but my head itches so bad I want to scrub it with a Brillo Pad. I know the first thing most moms will go with is lice and that's not the issue. It's bad allergy time for me right now. I've always had a moderate amount of itching all over when this time hits but this is out of control this year. I'm thinking that it's worse since I've had my daughter in May. Lots of things that used to effect my body mildly are worse now after pregnancy so I'm just assuming this is one of them. What...

Organic Shampoo and Conditioner for Me

Most shampoos make my scalp itchy (even Aveeno's new line). I am looking for a organic shampoo and condtioner that will not make my medium thick straight hair to dry or too oily. I was thinking of checking out Burt's Bees or Jason's organic shampoos. Have you tried either of these? Or can you recommend an organic shampoo/conditioner that you like? I am not wanting to spend alot of money (i.e. Arbonne).

Bad Toddler Diaper Rash

My daughter has had the worse diaper rash off and on for over a month. I called the pediatrician and spoke to the nurse twice and do what she says, then it gets better for awhile and comes back worse. The first time we thought it was a yeast infection so we treated it by not using wipes, and using lotrimen followed with cornstarch, and making sure it was very dry. It got better, but came back again, this time with no bumpy rash, so I started using triple paste (very thick) and medicated cornstarch which made it better for awhile. But it...

Sunscreen That Won't Burn My Daughter's Eyes

Can anyone recommend a sunscreen that won't burn my daughter's eyes? We've tried Water babies (the worst!), Baby Blanket and Aveeno. I also try to use a sunscreen stick instead of lotion on her face. The problem is that she often rubs her eyes after I've applied sunscreen so then she cries because it burns, even though all claim to be gentle on eyes. Any other recommendations?

Vomiting vs Spitting Up

Dear Mamas, Anyone have a clear definition of vomiting and spitting up? I'm trying to figure out if my four month old is vomiting. Also, my baby has had a pretty bad case of cradle cap and scratches his head quite a bit. I wash his head every day and brush out the dried bits but every morning his scalp is bad again with yellow scabs. I've covered his hands with mitts, I'm filing his nails and I've put caps on his head. I even washed his scalp (once) with head and shoulders. In the evenings I leave one arm free, the rest of his...
