No Body Like Mine (Part 6)

Occasionally, Sophie would still have issues with constipation...but it was nappy rash and fungal infection that hit my limit. I thought the cream Dr Koh gave us would help to prevent nappy rash and heal Sophie's anal tear, but instead, it got mixed with Sophie's sweat and gave her fungal infection. Sophie cried every time I clean her because her groin simply hurt with all the rash and infection. I felt really bad as I could not help her at all. I increased the frequency of diaper change and cleaned her with water after each change, but it was still useless. In fact, she was getting from bad to worse.

"It happens to army guys all the time... very common, we just air it whenever we can..." papa instructed mama to sun Sophie's groin everyday. So, that was exactly what I did. I placed Sophie's groin in direct sunlight for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day. As a result, we soiled out bed and several nappy cloths... but Sophie's bottom improved tremendously. No more cream! I just have to air Sophie's groin several times a day.
