Sounds just like the thrush YoungBloke gets occasionally. Whip along to the doctor for a second opinion and some canesten if it is.
Plenty of nudity and rug-washing, and the bath is quite nice too.
Take all your cotton nappies and the wraps and wash them at the hottest they'll take. When YB gets thrush I do all mine on 90C with a standard scoop of powder rather than a half-measure, rinse at least once, and then I stick every nappy, individually, in the microwave for a minute at full power. Until all the nappies are done YB gets to wear Moltex dispos.
Bottom balm from, um, Little Green Earthlets, I think, was fab last time he started to get thrush. I was visiting a friend and she put some in a pot and said "try this" and it cleared up before I had a chance to get to the GP. Vast improvement within 24 hrs. It's got ti tree oil in it.
And you aren't a bad mother. I don't know about Linnea, but YB can go from a little pink patch on one buttock that looks like he's been sitting too long to raw, chapped and /nasty/ in the time between one nappy change and the next.
