Suggest Treatment For Diaper Rashes In A Child

Hello, My 1-year-old has a stubborn diaper rash - over 2 weeks now despite using zinc cream after every change. It doesn t seem to bother him. It s red with white bupms, not very pronounced. Can I use Clotrimazole on it and if so - for how long? Thank you in advance, R.

.Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

By what you quote I feel it could be a fungal infection or a secondary bacterial infection... I suggest you use Quadriderm ointment which has got a wide coverage.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
