So, you approve of putting coconut oil on a baby girl’s groin?
I have a 14 month old and am about to obtain another, also a girl, and am at a loss to address the near constant groin rashes.
The doc gave me some stuff and it is the same stuff as that prescribed for my foot fungus.
I though Vaseline was safe. I guess I thought wrong.
Another example: Coffee causes cancer.
No wait: Now coffee PREVENTS cancer.
Yes...coconut oil for diaper rash is great
Especially organic unrefined coconut oil...just make sure youse a clean implement to remove it from container (spoon)...no fingers ...don’t want to contaminate it.
Thanks for the info!
However, I know of a woman who always used talc “down there” and who died of ovarian cancer. Just an anecdote, but...
Granddad used to drink it out of the bottle for constipation. Ew. Died of cancer.
“Thus, I will see your TMI and raise you a TMI.
Can anyone top that?”
I certainly hope not. :-)

It is still used for horses to help with colicky bowels. Horses can’t vomit so when they get stopped up it is serious matter.
Yes absorbed through the skin.
Hazmat workers wear tyvec suits, nitrile gloves and other equipment for the same reason. Law enforcement also wears protective items for the same reason.

Do you wear hazmat suits when cleaning your guitar strings?
“Finally a smart response. Everything that goes on your skin goes into your bloodstream. Petroleum products and talc are dangerous internally. Most people are completely ignorant of this fact.”
What a dump response...
“Do you wear hazmat suits when cleaning your guitar strings?”
Just nitrile gloves. I wipe off the residue with 91% alcohol... And when turning wrenches, or cleaning weapons etc.... didn’t used to. Heck we cleaned parts bare handed in varsol when I was a kid.
Are you aware that there is a difference between the mineral oil you use for cleaning and the mineral oil in Baby Oil?
“Are you aware that there is a difference between the mineral oil you use for cleaning and the mineral oil in Baby Oil?”
Baby oil ingredients state: mineral oil, fragrance. I used to use “baby oil” but didn’t want the fragrance on the fretboard due to possible build up.

Lots of cosmetic products are made from petroleum by-products. Just saying...
“Lots of cosmetic products are made from petroleum by-products. Just saying...”
True, and there are many people who use Cosmetics that contain no animal byproducts or petroleum based products. As far as oils go for skin emollients many prefer to use food grade oils such as olive oil, shea butter, or coconut oil (to name a few).
Heck, 50-60 years ago doctors used to be featured on cigarette ads!
There are some stronger natural barrier creams for real rashes. We used cloth diapers with bamboo inners, I believe? Then there are some disposable liners that help keep moisture off her. And there are silk liners like these

Even if you use disposables these might help. I never personally used the silk ones, the disposable ones were enough to keep moisture a bit farther away.
And for any rash that has the skin really raw, I added clay powder on top of the barrier cream:

The clay was effing MAGIC when she got 5 teeth at once!! She was drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and the diaper rash was sooooo bad her skin was ripped to raw. The powder was a lifesaver since we were in the mountains on a ski week. So glad I had it. Healed her up really well.
