Yeast Rash..........
| Tue, 04-06-2004 - 12:10pm |
My daughter has a yeast rash in her diaper area. We've gone through 4 tubes of antifungal cream of different strengths and she still has it, although not as bad. She's going to the dr tomorrow, but does anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks!

Put Lotrimin (anti-fungal foot cream) in the diaper area. Also take some Milk of Magnesia and rub some of that on top of the Lotrimin and then top it off with Desitin. Apply every time you change your baby's diaper and it should go away alot quicker than normal. Also if possible, let your baby air out without a diaper on, so the rash can dry out and when you do apply the treatment, it will also heal quicker. Caution, when you are airing out your baby... you need to catch them before they pee or poop on the floor, so put a blanket or something waterproof underneath them.
Hope this helps! It's worked for us and was even advised by our pediatrician.
