Answer: Dear Anita,
Usually the best treatment for
yeast rash is using topical anti-yeast/anti-fungal creams. Well known
products include Lotrimin AF, Monistat and Nystatin. These products
do not need a prescription and should be used as directed in the packaging.
It usually takes a few days for the rash to dissapear.
The best way to prevent yeast
rash in the future is by following these steps:
- Change a wet/soiled diaper as
soon as possible
- Clean a baby's bottom after each bowel movement and let it dry before
using the next diaper.
- Do not slap diapers very tightly, so air can circulate around the
skin.
