Magic Diaper Rash Cream: The Powerful Homemade Recipe

Updated March 10, 2021

My kids were lucky to only have a diaper rash a handful of times and the standard Desitin worked just fine. However, one time my daughter got a nasty rash with some sores and redness that caused her a lot of pain. Seeing her cry, kick, and scream was not something we could tolerate, so we rushed her to the pediatrician. After a quick look, they gave us this recipe. Then, after a quick trip to the pharmacy and the first use it soothed her bottom immediately. We applied it at every diaper change and it healed in just a couple of days.

  1. Maalox is liquid antacid containing MAgnesium trisilicate and ALuminum hydrOXide – there should be many generic equivalent products available at any drug store (CVS, Walgreens, WalMart, Kroger, etc.. even Amazon)
