Peachy09 (Ashlyn) (909.4 days ago) 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.
alijo (909.9 days ago) Sounds like a yeast infection - when Xander had one and the doc just gave him a prescription cream and it cleared right up.
megandgrace (910 days ago) 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.
