Question: Hi, my baby girl 14 months old has had a diper rash that won't go away. Her girly parts are red and swollen. The ped thinks that it is dryness and advised us to use aquaphor, but that only made things worse. I used lortimin for a few days and there was improvement, but now that rash is back.

Hi Doctor, thank you for your response.
a)the baby is itchy and her sleep is disturbed
b)there is curdy appearence
c)the area is raw and moist, no true oozing The rash starts as a red and puffy swelling of the labia, with the upper layer of skin becoming raw within a couple of days. It looks like tiny wet sores develop on the surface of the skin in the affected area. Yesterday I started using lotrimin again and there is major improvement. The area is lookign less red and puffy with sores drying out. It is so strange. Could "Butt Paste" or other diaper rash treatment prodcuts cause this? She did not have any reaction to any products until recently. How long should I use lotrimin? Should we schedule and appointment with our ped again and insist on further review rather then accepting the diagnosis of"dry skin"?
I will see if I can take a picture, but it looks so much better already.
Thank you,
