Yeast Infection On Stomach And Thighs. Taken Antibiotic Ointment. Suggestions?

I developed a yeast infection rash on the outside of my stomach in the creases of my upper thighs and stomach. I tried antibiotic ointment along with cornstarch (old family remedy) but it is slow healing. I thought I would try some of the white cream they put on babies who develop diaper rash from having wet diapers. What do you suggest? Mrs. Joan.
