yeast infections on little boys

has anyone ever has a little boy with a yeast infection?? what does it look like and what did you use to get rid of it?? my sons got this rash on his diaper line thought it was diaper rash but i wont go aways and nothings helping he just got of antibiotics and ive heard of that causin yeast infections sometimes in small children andyways any help or advice would be great thanks.

My son had one when he was a baby, take him to the doctor and they'll give you a prescription cream that will get rid of it.

My son just had one. We put lotrium(sp). The stuff for your feet. I asked the pharmacy person and it worked great.

my little boy has it...it looks like a bad diaper rash and it wouldntgo away no atter how many types/times i put on him...so i went to the dr and he gave me some anti fungal stuff to put on him once a day for ten days only...but he was also allergic to the huggies diapers too so i had to switch brands

One of my boys had one when he was an infant. His skin peeled on/around his crotch and spread to a bit of his thighs, it was pink and progressed to a bright red before it got better. Peeing hurt him tremendously. I used A&D to protect his skin from his urine while it healed, he was given a Rx cream. I would go straight to the doctor, personally, and not try to treat it yourself, jmo.

One of my son's had it, he just had a little rash. I took him to the doctor and got a prescription and it cleared up in a few days.

my son had one one his chin for a long time. The doctor said it's just from moisture sitting in one spot for a long time, or on a break in the skin. In his case he had a scratch on his chin, then with all the slobbers from teething and stuff he developed the yeast infection. But they gave him cream and it didn't work so they gave him another cream with steroids in it and it helped. Now his skin is nice and clear!

my son had it when he was a few months old..they just prescribed lotrimin...it was gone in like 3 days..works great...

Is the rash on the inside of his leg where the diaper elastic sits? If so, try a larger diaper. Miles had a little rash right where the elastic sat on his leg. Turns out he needed size 2 diapers rather than size 1. Only took a few days to clear up. Hope that helps.

i dont think that what it is cause i put him in pull ups most of the time and they are kinda big cause hes 2 and only fits in a size 4 diaper hes little

Lotramin in combination with regular desitin (not the creamy kind).

OK, I didnt know. Just telling what happened with my son. Its best to explor all reasons so you can rule someout.

My son has had them and they gave him Vusion for it and it cleared it up in a day!
