Diaper Rashes/Yeast Rash ?

Alrighty, so recently my daughter has developed this diaper rash. It's really odd. We change her nearly immediately after she wets herself or has a BM we let her butt air dry we have used diaper rash ointment but nothing at all seems to work! It's been going on for a few days and it just wont go away. I've heard it could be a yeast rash. Is there anything over the counter that I can give her to help it?

if its a yeast infection/rash, I think you need to go to the drs.

Ah, I was told they have something over the counter.

if its the yeast infection you need to get a cream from the dr. but if its just real bad diaper rash my son got it one time well i used aveeno oatmeal diaper rash cream it went away in like one day that crap works wonders..i like that better than A&D or balmex or any of that other stuff

My doctor told me to use monostat (sp) that is the only thing that worked for Em. We bought the generic kind too.

How is yeast diaper rash treated?


The primarytreatment for candidal diaper rash involves antiyeasttopical treatment and decreasing moisture in the diaper area.Nystatin (Mycostatin), econazole (Spectazole), clotrimazole (Lotrimin), and miconazole (Micatin, Monistat-Derm) are topical treatments of equal strength for treating candidal diaper dermatitis. Occasionally, other antifungal creams may be prescribed, such as ketoconazole (Nizoral cream). How long treatment should last has not been completely defined, although, typically, the cream or ointment is applied at each diaper change until the rash is resolved. Because of the intestinal reservoir of Candida speciesin most patients with yeast diaper rash, somedoctors recommend oral antifungalmedications in addition to topical creams. No study has definitively answered the question whether oral antifungal medications are helpful.
Prevent diaper rash by applying barrier creams like zinc oxide (A&D Ointment, Desitin, Diaparene) or petroleum jelly (Vaseline, Aquaphor) to the diaper area after bathing. These products may help to decrease the ambient moisture in the diaper area.Gentle cleaning to minimize skin breakdownmay also be helpful.

I really hope it's JUST a diaper rash but every other time she's had a rash we've used this really good stuff called triple paste and it worked wonders but the passed 2 days it has done nothing. I might just have to take her in if your suggestions don't work.

oh and a home remedie i was told about and my sister in law uses on her triplets....burn flour in a pan...just pour flour into a skillet and brown it up dont burn it for real just let all the flour turn brown and use that on the baby use it just like baby powder it treats diaper rash my sister in law says she wont use anything but

You can always ask a pharmacist. I get thrush with my kids when I was breastfeeding them and my insurance sucked so I couldn't go to the dr to get an rx, so he told me whatI could use over the counter. You can always just call and ask the nurse without seeing your dr or getting an rx. good luck

they prescribe clotrimazole which is the generic for lotrimin (sp?..athelete's foot medicine)...my son had one and i thought it was a diaper rash..i tried everything..switching diapers, wipes..all types of creams...letting him be naked..scorched flour...you name it..nothing worked ..well it was a yeast infection from the amoxicillin he had been on a few weeks b4 that...i used the lotrimin and it was gone in 2 days...

Thanks guys, I'm going to probably ask the pharmacist because it's so shitty using Tricare and seeing her doctor, they refuse to pay things then say they will when you rebill it then say they wont pay for this part but cover this and you have to ref file it like 8 times.

When my daughter had a yest rash they told me to use Lotrimin every diaper change. They also told me not to use wipes on her so I made some of my own (I dont buy wipes any more I just make them now). If it is just a diaper rash the best stuff I have ever used is butt paste.

Well we use aveno and baby powder with cornstarch. the baby powder is the only thing that has worked since kierra was born with her diper rash.
