Common Questions and Answers about Diaper rash yeast treatment

rash

Avatar f tn Could just be a regular diaper rash, butif it's not going away it could be a yeast diaper rash. If regular diaper cream doesn't clear it up within a few days, talk to his doctor. You may need a special topical cream (possibly Nystatin cream) if it's a yeast diaper rash. You could try a little cornstarch to keep his bum dry and change his diaper often. Also, keep it clean and give it some time to air dry too.
1194973 tn?1385503904 Does anyone know if a diaper rash can itch? Or is it possible a yeast infection can? It seems slightly silly to call her doctor about it, so I was hoping to get an answer from you ladies.
Avatar n tn I would try Desitin, the same ointment used for a baby's diaper rash. You may have diaper rash without the diaper. Let us know what happens.
9182722 tn?1403784024 The Vaseline is a lubricant to help keep his bottom dry to prevent more rash, the fungal/yeast creams help because many times baby will have test contributing to the rash(yes even boys) and the diaper cream helps with the rash too obviously and the cortisone helps with inflammation (don't use too much it's a steroid), I would also add you should call and confirm(quick call should be fine) with his doctor that this will be okay for your baby (I sing know your baby or any medical conditio

Avatar n tn My daughter got a diaper rash last month when she was 10 months old - it looked really bad. I took her to doc and she said it's a yeast infection and prescribed a cream. I used it on her for almost 1 month. It went away, but now she's 11 months old and it's seems like the rash is creeping up every time she goes poopy - even if I change her 2 mintues later (right after she's done). What could it be?
Avatar f tn I use baby powder after baths and diaper changes on intact skin, but at the first sign of any kind of rash, discontinue because yeast likes to feed on it and it can lead to a yeast infection.
Avatar f tn If it's a yeast rash you can use Lotrimin cream (an antifungal) and that should help clear it up. Corn starch can actually promote bacterial growth so that's usually not a good idea to use.
Avatar f tn Nystatin is for yeast. Ah glad its working.
Avatar f tn ve had for 2 months (this is my 3rd antibiotic in the last 2 months) and I have developed a very red rash starting right below the opening of my vagina, the skin beside it(kinda the start of my ver inner butt cheek), all the way up to my anus. The rash is itchy and sore (esp on my anus). It looks like a severe diaper rash. I've seen this type of rash on a friends child who had an external yeast infection. Is this possible that this is what I have?
676912 tn?1332812551 D and baby powder, anyone know what else can make a diaper rash go away? DS has had one for three days now, and cries the most heartbreaking cry when I change his dirty diapers, because it hurts him....I don't know what else to do.
Avatar n tn It is important to make sure you wash the area more than once a day with warm water and a wash cloth. After wards put diaper rash cream on the area avoiding the tip of your penis to ensure that you don't get any in the urethra. It may sound weird to use diaper rash cream but it is composed of chemicals that are gentle enough to apply to your genitals without causing harm.
1165284 tn?1323455476 It gave him diaper rash which I was able to get rid of with zinc based diaper rash ointment. but now he has a sensitive & red scrotum & inner upper thighs. What should I put on this to ease the pain? I know it is caused by the antibiotic but he is having alot of discomfort. I would like to know the best thing to help him because I don't want to put the wrong thing on him & make it worse. Help please.
470885 tn?1326329037 If there are little red dots it could be a yeast rash. It could be from him teething too. Elijah STILL gets bad diaper rashes from time to time, at two and a half almost. Best thing I can suggest is letting him be naked for a while during the day, usually when I let Elijah be naked for a little bit it helps when he has/looks like he's getting a rash. I'm not 100% sure why Elijah gets them, but he does get yeast rashes sometimes too...
Avatar f tn can a yeast infection cause a rash on bum? Does a colonoscopy make you more vunerable to yeast infections? or gastrointestinal problems?
Avatar n tn s bottom if he or she has a yeast-based diaper rash. I always used to have it in our diaper bag, which invariably made my girlfriends laugh.
Avatar f tn diapers asap I bought huggies n ever since tht my sons had a diaper rash.? Has anyone experienced this too?
Avatar n tn I just had a new born on 10/13/15...when I change her diaper she has this RED rash on her buns wit a little bit of blood...
Avatar n tn Rash is one of the sx of Riba, so as long as you are taking that, you could have the rash. Just keep that cream handy, and at the first sign of a new break out, put some on.
676912 tn?1332812551 ll probably need a script for a yeast cream...Kahlan had a yeast rash at one point and it looked blistery and horrible and the yeast cream went on, stung a little, and 2 hours later it was almost gone. She's had a few yeast rashes since then and the stuff she was prescribed always got rid of it right away.
1151771 tn?1262025120 Yeast infection presents with red rash which is very itchy. Another possibility can be diaper rash which can occur due to contact dermatitis to the material of the diaper and urinating and sweating makes it worse. Use cotton diapers for some days and expose her to the air for some time after urinating and washing. Now since she is getting painful sores, so it looks like infected hair follicles and again not yeast infection.
3930380 tn?1357887113 Make sure to keep her clean and dry. Bath her before bed time and use burst bees diaper rash ointment. With my daughter she rarely got diaper rash but when she did it sees nothing would make it go away we literally bought a bottle of every ointment and burst bees was the only thing that would make a difference. Walmart and target have it.
Avatar f tn Nikodicreta suggests that, in addition to topical treatment, you combat the yeast systemically. I concur. In fact I have a very serious candida (yeast) infection that I am curing systemically by taking supplemental iodine (Lugol's solution).
Avatar f tn Baby could be having a reaction to the formula our could be a yeast rash. Google pictures of yeast diaper rash and see if it matches what it looks like. If it's yeast you can use lotrimin af 2-3 times a day and give lots of diaper free time to air it out.
202436 tn?1326474333 s definitely a yeast rash (he had to go in for his 1 year shots so I went ahead and had them check for his rash as well)...they put him on an anti-fungal cream but I already had some because his sister has had yeast rashes before...a few applications later and the rash is 90% improved...Sabrina (smjmekg) says that the same stuff in the athlete's foot cream is what is in the antifungal and will clear up a yeast rash....
Avatar m tn They gave me a cream that was given to me when he was only a week old for a yeast diaper rash but this time its doing nothing. I bought Mr. Smiths diaper cream as well as aquaphor but the aquaphor seems to do nothing and after one diaper with Mr. Smiths (and it was only urine) it got 10x worse. I called his pediatric and they said to wait a week and see if it gets better, and that is frustrating that i cant help my child for a whole week.
