Brief Answer: Candidiasis Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at XXXXXXX I would keep a possibility of candidiasis/yeast infection. As a result of constant use of diapers the skin is exposed to prolonged wetness, increased skin pH caused by urine and feces, resulting in breakdown of the stratum corneum, or outermost layer of the skin. This presents an ideal environment for candida/yeast to proliferate which may present as redness in that area and in the folds and satellite pustules. Treatment is based on keeping the skin as dry as possible and using a mild steroid+antifungal skin cream(clobetasone + miconazole) twice daily on the irritated skin and pustules. After the lesions resolve try to keep the area air dry as much as possible. You can also use a antifungal dusting powder to keep the area dry and non-conducive to candida overgrowth. take care regards
