Yeasty diaper rash?

REOM

I forget what to do. I have the Nystatin cream, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I stopped using wipes, gave her air time today, but it still looks pretty bad

What else can I do to help her? Thanks!

Have you tried Lotrimen? I found that worked better for DD than Nystatin.

femmegem

Yep, Lotrimin is what helped DS. Hope she feels better soon!

REOM

Lotrimen the foot cream?!

FooBride

Yup, Lotrimin AF, the foot creme is what my pedi recommended and it worked great on DD.

Ditto the lotrimin

Yep! Or even the store brand works just as well.

REOM

Thanks, sorry for all the questions!

Apply it every diaper change, or just twice a day like the Nystatin?

FooBride

Every

Ben used to get really bad yeast rashes and Lotramin seemed to make them worse. The doctor gives us an rx cream called Vusion, which has an antifungal, petroleum and zinc-oxide all in one cream so it soothes as it treats the fungus.

Well, I'm hopping on here late but here were our instructions from DD's pedi:

1. Luke warm baking soda bath 3 times per day

2. Lotrimin AF only after each bath (so 3 times per day)

3. A&D ointment over the Lotrimin AND after every diaper change--that wipes off more easily than regular diaper cream (stinks, but it WORKS; we actually now use that instead of Buttpaste now)

It cleared up in about one day--it was an open-sore diaper rash that made her scream with every diaper change so it was nasty.  I think we did the baking soda bath part for 2 days.
