Didn't seem to do much, but Desitin (the 40% zinc oxide stuff) cleared it up. ....or it just naturally ran it's course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1309684 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 10:05:06 +0000 septca 1309684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are dealing with this right now, so I thought I'd chime in. I am waiting for my Triple Paste AF to arrive (I had to order it through Amazon Prime because I couldn't find it in a store), and have been using coconut oil since last night (using regular Triple Paste or Aquaphor for the last 3 days did nothing). I can already see a huge improvement! Another great use for coconut oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296764 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 19:46:27 +0000 cvbee 1296764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used canesten after the doc said to use yeast infection cream for women. But another time a doc prescribed us a triple-action cream with yeast and bacteria fighting action, plus anti itch. I vote see the doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296762 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 19:41:38 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1296762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a bad yeast rash that only cleared with nystatin paste (rx). It got bad really fast so I suggest going in some than later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296756 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 19:35:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1296756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When M had a really bad rash a few weeks ago I allowed for diaper free time. Letting her bum completely dry after change. Using only warm water and baking soda with a wash cloth at changes. Then a layer of coconut oil then desitin rapid relief. @bpcmarj told me that coconut oil has natural antifungal fungal properties! </p> <p>I would also put baking soda in her bath as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296547 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 14:51:27 +0000 MrsF 1296547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @swedishfish: antibiotics would only treat a bacterial infection, not yeast. Antibiotic use can actually cause fungal infections like yeast. They might call in a prescription antifungal for you, but we've had good luck with OTC monistat. Hope your LO feels better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296538 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 14:33:10 +0000 autumnlove 1296538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rx Nystatin. </p> <p>Hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296472 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 12:44:49 +0000 HLK208 1296472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This time last year, E had it SO bad. I had to stop using wipes and use a warm wash cloth with just water. Then I would use a blow dryer on low heat to dry the area completely, then apply a generous amount of coconut oil. It did help but it ended up being a yeast rash which the doctor prescribed an ointment for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296466 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 12:37:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 1296466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we had a yeast rash and I used coconut oil for a few days. Cleared it up pretty quickly so we never saw the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296448 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 12:04:42 +0000 dojo 1296448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought L had a yeast rash at one point (turned out it wasn't) and when I was looking things up online I saw a lot of people saying that coconut oil really helps with yeast if you have any of that. We also have used Nystatin for a bad rash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296438 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:51:02 +0000 fancyfunction 1296438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a prescription for Nystatin from the Dr. It didn't work completely on its own though so then we had to also get a script for Mupirocin and the combo did the trick. Good luck and hope the rash disappears soon! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296272 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:32:07 +0000 Smurfette 1296272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Thanks! I will call them tomorrow if it isn't better. I hope they would call it in without having to see her. Leaving tomorrow for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296264 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:21:41 +0000 swedishfish 1296264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But since you think it's a yeast infection your ped should be able to call in antibiotics for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296262 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:19:48 +0000 pl0508 1296262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yes ! Nystatin twice a day. I did morning after his morning poop and before bed. I put a layer of aquaphor on top and used aquaphor for all other dipes ! It's rx only but your ped may just call some in. I would give the monistat a try in the meantime - it will prob work. We also started probiotics which helps ! My thread was called Antibiotic Problems ( I think ) they always give him a horrible yeast rash ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296261 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:18:16 +0000 swedishfish 1296261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just called our ped yesterday about a bad diaper rash on R with sores and redness. However, since our ped looked at it earlier this week and determined it's not fungal she could not give us an antibiotic. This is what the on call doc said to do:</p> <p>1) wipe like normal<br /> 2) have 1 container of warm water and a drop of baby shampoo.<br /> 3) wash bottom with a washcloth dipped in container 1<br /> 4) have a 2nd container of warm water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda dissolved<br /> 5) wash bottom with water from the 2nd container<br /> 6) dry<br /> 7) put on Desitin or whatever you'd like to use</p> <p>It looks better already and we've only done this since last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296259 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 08:04:14 +0000 Smurfette 1296259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: nope! But I have to run out this morning and get more Lotrimin so I could get that instead. I will look for the thread you started! Did the Nystatin work for your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296256 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 07:59:43 +0000 pl0508 1296256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any nystatin ? I posted about this earlier in the week an someone also suggested monistat ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-treat-yeast-diaper-rash#post-1296253 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 07:56:18 +0000 Smurfette 1296253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think R has a yeast rash. It was worse this past week but we use Lotrimin, then Aquafor, then Triple Paste. The redness and one sore went away. Still using it but she is stratching/itching herself SO much this morning. What can I do?? </p>
