Homemade Bum Ointment for Baby Diaper Rash

This recipe's ingredients sound weird, but I got it from the Perdiatrician's office when Desitin wasn't working well on it's own.  This stuff worked like a charm - eased the pain and cleared up the rash fast.  The recommendation is that you whip this up, spread it on your child's rash until it clears, and cover it with Vaseline before you cover it with the diaper (each application).  Good Luck!

1/4 cup antacid (Malox, Mylanta, or similar)
2 oz tube (1/4 cup) of antifungal cream (Monistat, Lotramin, or similar)
1/4 cup Desitin (or similar diaper rash cream)
1 Tablespoon antibiotic ointment (Neosporin or similar)

Mix well - all ingredients in a clean Tupperware-type container.
Keep covered.
No need to refridgerate.
Discard when it starts to turn brown or when rash is gone. (Fresh batch next time.)
