OK, I stripped the diapers and put a fitted on him today that had a fleece liner. It was on for less than 2 hrs and he already had blisters again. So I guess we are done and I will be putting them up for sale.

Did you try it without the fleece?

Oh, good! Maybe let him go coverless or even naked a bit so it can heal faster.

...and, thanks.

I'm a bit late on this but I have major probs with polyester, even polar fleece. I HAVE to wear something under it. I am also allergic to wool.

My twins were getting rashes at night after they had toilet trained & were diaper free all day. So I tried using fleece liners for my twins to prevent the pee from being on their skin & they got a "scorched" look to the area that was touched by the fleece liner. I was using Bummis covers and it was better when for them & now for newest DS I just use a folded 100% cotton terry face cloth (very cheap ones!). Basically their purpose it a bit of extra absorption, but mainly so that it I am only cleaning poop from a face cloth size vs a huge CPF!! Then with the twins even with no fleece they started to get a tad "rashy" in the warmer weather with the bummis so I made a couple of wool covers out of a couple of DH's old wool sweaters. Rashes were gone & never came back again!! I found it interesting that they could tolerate a wet, next to the skin diaper all night long with the breathable wool cover (they aren't allergic to wool). DS has always had wool night covers since he was born & no rash!!

Let us know how it goes!!

Also as I recall polyester is BAD, BAD, BAD regarding yeast. Once the integrity of the skin is compromised (like an allergic skin reaction) it is much more prone to yeast. So something to watch out for.

Oh I also find with polar fleece I have to even make sure the collars don't touch my skin or I can end up with a rash or at least feeling very itchy.

Try washing your diapers in Dawn dish soap. Like a teaspoon or something. I also wash my diapers once in a while (every 4th wash or so) without anything. and yes, they still come out clean.
try using prefolds and a cover and see if the rash clears up
