My insurance denied me this and the pharmacy wants $250 with coupon for it. It didnt make sense at first, then I hit you and read the components, voila! what scums those big pharms are. The poor soul that wants to see their baby healthy will pay anything (incl. me). They know this and abuse it. Thanks again. Thank you so much for this info.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Vusion (0.25% miconazole nitrate, 15% zinc oxide and 81.35% white petrolatum) Ointment for the treatment of diaper dermatitis complicated by candidiasis (DDCC) in infants 4 weeks and older. So, it's comprised of mostly Petroleum Jelly? lol. niccceeeee... Here’s the Percentages for the mixture…

I got a few strange looks intially from my Mother Inlaw. Then her daughter had 6 kids bada-boom-bada-bang and money was tight for them and I seen the old generic dollar store brand vaginal cream on the changing table! You could essentially buy all these products at Dollar General and make a large amount of it for around 10 bucks! No office call, no waiting for a prescription to be filled and a happy baby sooner! I would probably skip the heavy sticky creams and just use the Monistat Those other things tend to "gunk" up the baby and its hard to wash off. I know thats the point of those creams they don't rub off but is the risk worth the benefit?

Best stuff ever. Its cheap and works wonders. It's usually kept behind the counter, so you have to ask for it, but no prescription is required. Even works on brothers in law who get a little out of hand with the bengay!!! :twisted: One word – Resinol. Best stuff ever. Its cheap and works wonders.

I about fell down laughing when the nurse said that was the perscription's official name. But it is, and about one month after using it on my little one's bum, Oprah had Mr. Bourdeaux on to talk about his amazing invention. It worked wonders and cost less than $5. I don't think the Big O would invite Mr. Vusion on for his $100 butt paste. I’m all for Bourdeaux’s Butt Paste.

I'm sitting here typing this comment and what comes on the TV but the Vusion commercial! I'd be nervous trying to blend my own if the rash was that bad. How much Monistat to how much Desitin? Half and Half, blended with enough vaseline to make it spreadable? My daughter Kaitlyn was born with diaper rash. It was so bad that the top layers of her skin were gone. She looked like she'd been burned. Our Pediatrician prescribed an ointment that clearly said on the label "hydrocortisone, Desitin Creamy, and Vaseline". We happily paid the $15.00 co-pay for her not to have that horrible rash anymore. DUDE. I’m sitting here typing this comment and what comes on the TV but the Vusion commercial!

My brother is a pharmacist and he just whipped me up some fabulous bum cream (which we nicknamed "Cheeky Monkey"). Anyhoo, most pharmacists should be able to mix up something similar - and for a lot less than $100. I was just going to say what James said.

It's over the counter and very cheap - less than $10. In Australia the best selling product for cleaning showers is called "Shower Power". People think it's absolutely wonderful. The ingredients are water (> 60%), a dash of orange oil and citric acid, and a mysterious proprietary ingredient that can't be revealed. I'm pretty sure it's just sugar or a sugar derivative! From the manufacturer - "Shower Power was the result of an intensive reasearch and development program by Ozkleen's chemists." Hmmm.
