If the rash on my baby's butt is diaper rash or a reaction to something I'm eating or related to a yeast infection of some kind? She did have a high templast week over 102. then that cleared up and days later I noticed the rash on her butt.

I think if it's just on her butt, most likely it's diaper rash?

@chopsuey119: ok.. even if she doesnt seem bothered it? I always though a rash was painful or sore when wiped

@Mrsbells: yeah I would say so. Not a professional though!
My Lo's never been bothered by diaper rash.. I think it just depends on the baby.

Have you tried using something like Triple Paste on her and seeing if it clears up? If it's just a little diaper rash, then that should clear it up. But if it's something you're eating, it would probably come back.

We've had both. Try palmer's butt butter (which I now think is better than desitin) and if it gets better- it was diaper rash. If it lingers, it could be a yeast infection. It took weeks to get rid of the yeast infection. Just when you thought it was gone- her skin was clear for a week and we continued to use fungal cream- as soon as we stopped it flared up again. It is finally gone. You might also want to look into infant probiotics. They helped clear up both the yeast infection and her little cold.

BTW, yeast infection is more spotty/blotchy. Diaper rash more all over. And our yeast infection was just in the diaper area.
