Health and Wellness Seminars Common Shoulder Problems and Simple At Home Solutions

Common Shoulder Problems and Simple At-Home Solutions Seminar: Thursday, October 12, 5:30 – 6:30 PM

Dr. Harrington has been this community’s Physiatrist and Musculoskeletal Specialist at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates for the past two decades. He will review common shoulder pains we all experience, some options for self-care, and reasons to seek medical consultation. This workshop is directed toward anyone with interest in or personal experience with shoulder pain, whether from wear-and-tear, an old injury, athletics, or aging. Interactive discussion is welcome. Dr. Harrington’s practice as a board-certified Musculoskeletal Physician is grounded in thorough diagnostic evaluation and treatment with 20 years of experience. He seeks to define a problem and then offers options and choices to guide patients toward a course of treatment all parties can agree on, leading to the best possible outcome. Recognizing that not every first choice leads to success, he establishes plans with patients that help bring about their goals.

            [0] => Diaper rash is a common condition that affects infants and toddlers, causing discomfort and irritation. At Monadnock Community Hospital, we provide expert care to soothe and treat diaper rash effectively. Diaper rash can result from prolonged exposure to wet or dirty diapers, friction, and sensitivity to products. Our pediatricians offer personalized care to ensure your baby's skin stays healthy and rash-free.

Common Symptoms of Diaper Rash

  • Redness and tenderness in the diaper area
  • Swelling and warmth of the skin
  • Small red bumps or spots
  • Fussiness or discomfort, especially during diaper changes

Effective Treatments for Diaper Rash

At Monadnock Community Hospital, we offer a range of treatments to alleviate diaper rash. This includes gentle cleansing of the affected area, using barrier creams to protect the skin, and recommending diaper changes more frequently. We also provide guidance on selecting hypoallergenic products to prevent future occurrences.

Home Care

  • Change diapers frequently, about every hour, and change as soon as it is wet or soiled.
  • Increase air exposure by leaving your baby’s bottom exposed to air as much as possible. When the diaper is on, fasten it loosely to allow air to circulate between the diaper and the skin.
  • Rinse the skin with warm water. Avoid washing with soap after each diaper change as it can damage the skin. If you use soap, choose a mild soap (such as Dove) and only use it after bowel movements. Avoid store-brand wipes that contain perfumes or alcohol, which can irritate the skin further. Instead, use a warm washcloth or make your own wipes by moistening paper towels with plain warm water and storing them in a zip-lock bag for short periods.
  • For nighttime care, use disposable diapers that are loosely fastened. Apply a barrier ointment such as A&D, Aquaphor, or Vaseline to protect the skin overnight.

Other Recommendations

  1. Apply a good barrier ointment between diaper changes to protect the skin.
  2. Use a cotton ball to dab plain Maalox on any open, raw areas. Let it dry, then apply barrier ointment.
  3. Mix barrier ointment and Maalox in a plastic bag for easy application.
  4. If yeast is suspected, apply Lotrimin or Micatin sparingly four times a day.
If yeast is suspected in your baby's diaper rash:
  • Clean and dry the area thoroughly before each Lotrimin application
  • Apply a thin layer of Lotrimin cream four times daily
  • Follow up with a barrier cream to protect the skin
  • Monitor the rash closely and contact our office if there's no improvement in 4-5 days

Applying Lotrimin for Diaper Rash

When treating a suspected yeast diaper rash with Lotrimin:
  • Apply Lotrimin sparingly four times a day
  • Continue application for 3-5 days, even if symptoms improve
  • Always consult your pediatrician before using antifungal creams on infants
Contact our office if there is no improvement in 4-5 days.

Preventing Diaper Rash

Prevention is key to maintaining healthy skin. Ensure frequent diaper changes to keep the area dry and clean. Use mild, fragrance-free products, and let your baby have diaper-free time to air out the skin. Regular check-ups with our pediatricians can help you manage and prevent diaper rash effectively.

When to Call the Doctor

If the diaper rash persists for more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by fever or other symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice.
