Question 4

is it possible for you to use plain yogurt to treat a babies rash?

Accepted Answer

Not to my knowledge: I haven't heard of this treatment.  If it's a diaper rash, you may need a prescribed medicine to clear it up.

The best thing to do is have the baby seen by his doctor for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Accepted Answer

Depends : Treatment would depend on what the rash is from. Without a detailed description of where it is &amp; what it looks like little can be offered as treatment. Since we cannot view photos on this public site, I suggest you have the kid looked at to decide what to do. You are welcome to start over with a clear description of the rash &amp; someone may have some suggestions.

Question 8

how can you prevent the babies from diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

Meticulous hygiene.: Most baby diaper rashes are either irritative or infectious in nature. Urine & feces commonly irritate baby's skin triggering a diaper rash. Otc diaper creams are geared to seal the skin from these caustic exposures. Yeast & bacterial infections can produce diaper rashes as well. These are more complicated to diagnose & treat--requiring  your doctor's help. Baby wipes can produce rashes as well.
