loribb`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll 9 Month old with a diaper rash that is red, inflamed, and tiny pimples. Normally she gets over a diaper rash in a day or two, she has had this for 4 days. Should I take her to her doctor?

Use the lotrimin - or just generic clotrimazole cream with every diaper change till it`s cleared up & then for another day or two. A large tube is like $5 at Walmart. It will take a day or so to visibly start working. If she`s really irritated rinse out the baby wipes in water before using them & get some cornstarch baby powder too! My DS doesn`t get a lot of diaper rashes, but I still use A&D cream with his overnight diaper & he gets the cornstarch baby powder with every diaper change at home just cuz.

Sounds like a yeast infection - when Xander had one and the doc just gave him a prescription cream and it cleared right up.

Yeah, it`s probably yeast. You can use over the counter Lotrimin AF for it. It`s for jock itch but works wonders on yeast rashes. (That`s what my doctor told me to use when my LO had yeast infection)

It`s probably turned into a yeast infection and needs a perscription cream for it. Poor baby, I hate it when my daughter got that. Oh and don`t use wipes use a warm cloth to clean her. It probably burns. And if you can let her go without a diaper after changing to air dry. The air really helps to heal it. Megandgrace is right the cream is called nystatin.

If there is white spots it is probably a yeast infection and you may need special cream. Try calling the doctor office first and speak to a nurse there may be an over the counter cream that you can use. Grace had gotten thrush once so they gave a ton of cream for her diaper rash from it and now i always use that when i see the white dots appearing and its gone the next day, its called nystatin.
