Yeast diaper rash help?

My DS has developed a nasty looking rash on his inner thigh/groin area right where his diaper rubs. It looks like a combo of chaffed skin and red, puffy spots and bumps. Doesn't seem to be hurting or bothering him, but it sure looks nasty. I consulted Dr. Google and it looks like it might be a yeast rash. Any of your DCs had a yeast rash before, and have you had luck treating it? It looks like an anti-fungal will help it since so far standard diaper rash cream hasn't done anything for it.

    We are dealing with one now. Doc said triple antibiotic cream 4 times a day and to take diapers of and let her air out at least twice a day. It's only been 24 hrs ad looking much better.

    Yes! Lotrimin or clotrimin (generic). My doc said 2-3x per day. The other diaper changes make sure to keep a barrier so liquid can't easily get to the skin. Aquaphor, A&D, Vaseline.... Stay away from the creams as they rub away from the skin much easier.

    Lotrimin, covered in aquaphor or vaseline to keep it on.  Triple antibiotic doesn't work on yeast.

     

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    Yep - dd had one a couple of weeks ago. It was ugly- ended up taking her to the pedi. Triple paste worked well (the prescription we got didn't help at all) - and yes on the barrier cream, our pedi said to do coat it in Vaseline as well

    Ours got so bad we needed RX Poop goop -- now we use triple paste as a preventative. Or maybe it is called triple cream? I can't remember. It is good,and doesn't smell as badly as desitin.
