Hi Jessica,

The one thing that my Butt Paste does not treat is Candida (yeast). Please see your son’s pediatrician to determine whether he needs treatment with nystatin powder or other antifungal or whether something else is going on.

Good luck!

I know this is an old post, but I can not get this thing to go away. I do the steriod at night and in the morning then do this paste in between. It looks to get better then he poops… Worse than before every time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Just wanted to thank you for this! I called my doctor to get a prescription Magic Butt Cream, which I have used on 3 other of my 5 children. My son has a bleeding diaper rash every time he poops. He gave me a steriod to save me money. The rash was just about gone, then we pooped! More blood then before. I don’t think the steriod protected his skin? So I just made a batch of this up. Can’t wait for him to wake up to put on his bottom. Thank you for leaving this recipe up!!

Hi Mandy,

We used to say that you add either an antibiotic (bacitracin) or an antifungal (lotrimin) but not both. I think the only reason there was such an admonishment was because you wanted to get an idea of which way to go if the stuff didn’t work. But I had thought of using both in the same mixture.

Thanks for the comment!

I got a similar recipe from my son’s Dr.’s office when he was a toddler. After Greer’s Goo stopped working, this was the only thing that helped and worked really well. And when my daughter was a newborn. She had the awfullest diaper rash from like 3-6 weeks old, it was so sad and this was the only thing that helped it at all. Without looking up the recipe, the only difference I can tell is mine had an extra ingredient – lotrimin.

I’m so glad that you found this butt paste to be useful. And yes, you must use the regular Desitin and not the creamy.

When we were in training, this paste was only used for treatment of severe diaper rash and never for prevention. I’ve been using the new Balmex powder (that has zinc oxide) as a preventive with Zara with good results, but she is getting older and is using the potty more, so that may be a factor as well.

I stumbled across this around the beginning of the year when my daughter had a terrible diaper rush, with open blisters. I mixed this up using the directions above and it was gone in a day or two, it worked better then the 4 prescription creams her Ped. gave her. In my opinion the best Zinc Oxide to use is the Desitin Original, not the creamy, because it has 40% Zinc Oxide, the highest you can buy over the counter without prescription. All the rest have 10 – 12%. We use this after every diaper change. It hasn’t prevented her for ever getting a diaper rash, but is has cured everyone one is less then 48 hours.
