Honey-Cinnamon Results

So we used the honey-cinnamon concoction for a few days with what seemed like no results. And feeling very discouraged, I went back to the Desitin to protect the area, until I could come up with another course of action or just give into the $60 prescription. To my pleasant surprise, after the day of using the Desitin following the honey and cinnamon treatment, the rash began to clear up considerably. And now, a few days later, it is practically gone. Now for the record, I had tried the Desitin several times before the honey-cinnamon treatment and it seemed to do nothing.

So given these results, I am (loosely) concluding that the honey and cinnamon probably killed whatever bacteria/fungus was causing the rash issue and that the Desitin then just kept the moisture out until the skin healed. Other variables that may have also influenced this experiment were 1. we didn't bathe her for the week, so that no moisture would cause the issue to come back and 2. we gave her some no diaper playtime, so that she could air out a bit...LOL. I only reccomend this if you have plenty of towels to lay down on the floor because they will pee at random, let me assure you :).

So praise God, her bum is feeling much better. I hope this medical testimony helps someone else :) I knew there was a reason we did science experiments growing up...I so would have placed in the science fair...LOL
