Can Miconazole Cream Be Used For The Diaper Rash In A 3 Year Old?
I have a three year old daughter with what looks like diaper rash but it looks like it could be a yeast rash. Can I put Miconazole cream on her to help sooth the irritation. Please help. She wore a pullup last night to bed and it seemed like it only got worse when she woke up this morning.

Miconazole is an antifungal. Diaper rashes could be caused due to yeasts which are actually fungi and hence you can use miconazole to treat diaper rash. It will help in relieving the irritation but you have to keep the area dry.
