You buy it in super concentrated drops and mix it with water in a spray bottle and spray it on his bottom after every diaper change. Make sure it's dry before you but his diaper back on. We also use a cornstarch powder to absorb any extra moisture. Stay away from zinc creams obviously, as they keep the area moist which harbours yeast. The other thing we use is probiotics. Yeast infections develop when the bacteria in their bodies is unbalanced, and acidopholus (probiotic) is a "friendly" bacteria that helps to re-establish the balance. You can buy it especially for babies, the one we use is called Udo's choice Infant Blend. We mix 1/2 teaspoon in her milk twice a day. Good luck.

But have you tried just good old A & D ointment? Or pure cornstarch mixed with breastmilk (if your nursing)? Both of those worked best for our daughter. Yes, you can try those creams for your son.

A lot of creams these days actually make things worse because people react the the ingredients in them, that's why I'd go for a product made with natural ingredients. Try Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, it's excellent stuff. I would try to find a natural cream, not sure about the yeast infection cream theory.

It's a little more expensive than Desitin, but I think it works better. I wouldn't use yeast infection creams though as they're made for yeast infections and not diaper rash. That's just me though.

When my daughter was a baby she had a rash that would not clear up and this is what the doctor told me, he prescribed an anti fungal cream which cleared it up in a matter of days. In the absence of a fungus I found lanolin based products very good, and also use a barrier cream, even when the baby is rash free to provide protection. Good luck, it's so hard to see them in pain !!! :) There is a possibility that your son has a fungus this would take longer to clear up, you should see a doctor if you think this may be the case as a normal rash treatment used on a fungus type rash could make it worse.

Use Desitin. It has been around for many many many years and there is a very good reason for that. It works great and protects his very delicate skin from moisture so the rash can dry up. It is stinky, and you do have to wash your hands well after applying it, but it truly is the very best. All clinics and Dr.'s recommend it.
