Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Those with girls. Diaper rash question.

I just changed DD's diaper & she pointed to her vaginal area & said booboo. So I moved the skin back & sure enough it's all red & up near the top part, the hood, it's got red bumps & a couple open blister like sores. I'm going to take her to the pedi tomorrow to get it checked. I just wonder if anyone has seen this? There are no bumps or rash anywhere else in that area. I feel so bad for her.

 Could it be a yeast infection?

    Oh, poor sweetheart that is awful!

    Yes, it could be yeast, could also be a bacterial infection. Your pedi will fix her right up, I hope she gets better soon!

  • My DD had yeast on the sides when we went to the 12 month visit. She ordered prescription nystatin cream and it was gone in a day.

    Thats what I think it might be. A yeast infection. Well at least I hope it is. She's had a yeast infection before but it was like PP said, it was more wide spread. I put bacitracin on it tonight before she went to bed. Hopefully that will help it a little.
