This is the first week and a half of the takedown and the kid finally got serious butt burn. I bought wipes, calmoseptine, butt paste and a squirty thing for her to spray water on her butt after she's done. I am trying to get a portable bidet installed here at home, but at school my daughter will not have that option. Anything tips you can give will be helpful, i know there is nothing that makes it go away, but what do you do on a regular basis to ease the burn? Thanks for your suggestions!!

Calmoseptine cream and time were the two things that helped me
when I first had my take down, I had butt burn all the time. Calmoseptine helped because I was in so much pain. Fast forward a couple months I was still really irritated and decided to just use baby wipes and tp to dry. I realized by keeping things clean and DRY I healed my tushy and the pain went away. People swear by the creams but keeping things moist all the time was not a good thing for me!
Sitz-Bath with very warm, almost hot water. Or a hot bath! Works wonders.
ohhh ya, baths are great especially in the first few months when its hard to get relief!
I think the keeping dry thing is probably a huge help - she has the creams, does take nice hot baths and hopefully she will learn to manage the amount of movements as well as the tushy burn!
