***PICTURE IN COMMENTS! HELP!! My son has a really bad case of diaper rash. He’s been given yeast cream (Nystatin) and…

I would put the Nystatin on then the aquaphor over it. That always did the trick for my daughter. The aquaphor sealed them cream in and allowed it to do it's job better

Also maybe try an oatmeal bath just to soothe the redness.

I hope he feels better soon ❤️

Try straight up zinc oxide spray. Zinc oxide is the active ingredient in diaper rash cream. Learned this trick from a friend who’s son was in the NICU, it’s what the nurses gave her. I’ll link you to some that’s not medical grade, but it works amazingly!

Thank you all for the great tips! Will definitely try triple paste as well

Then I would put a ton of butt paste on him.

My son recently had bad diaper rash and instead of using any wipes on him, I would put his booty under the kitchen sink water to rinse him and then lightly towel dry him off (until it got better).

This also works wonders!!! Over night is cleared up

I have used jock itch for my son

I have one more suggestion. It looks like when he’s in the diaper, the red parts are folded together under the diaper. Try tucking the edges of the diaper up into the highest crease where his legs reach his body so the diaper keeps the skin from touching and so the redest parts are not covered by the diaper... if that makes sense. I realized after a while with my youngest that I had too much of her upper leg under the diaper and she started getting red like that

Could that be a chemical burn from a diaper 🤔 it could be a bunch of things though! I would just use nystatin first lather it and then use aquaphor on top so it could lock in the nystatin

I'd take him in cause that could be several different things. Meanwhile pull his leg rolls out of the diaper when you put a fresh one on.

Triple paste worked miracles on my boys

This is what I use when my little it gets like that. Usually, only when he has diarrhea. I use the yellow one (bigger bottle) for just regular rash. I just started using them with my last cuz what I was using before was not helping my lil one. I worked almost immediately. Was so much better bye next change.

poor thing

i agree with the previous 2 the cream then aquaphor

Yup, what the PP said. Create a barrier. Apply the Nystatin, then apply Aquaphor, or Triple Paste. I suggest Triple Paste first. Once it’s cleared a considerable amount, then Aquaphor. If your son is prone to rashes, I would use Aquaphor with every diaper change. This is what we had to do with our youngest son, since he was so extra sensitive to most diapers.

@love_linds, we have and they prescribed nystatin but it’s not doing anything

I’d take him to the dr ASAP to get their opinion. That looks painful!

Try corn starch after every diaper change

Apply it sudo cream
