Question 1

Cleaning with water: Frequent diaper change helps. Good cleaning and crea.

Question 3

how to get rid of my son's yeast diaper rash (thrush)?

Accepted Answer

Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream): You need to keep the area as dry as possible. That means change diapers often. Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) or a generic equivalent is very effective in treating the rash.

Question 4

can mixture of baking soda/water really get rid of thrush-yeast of baby mouth and nipples? about yeast diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: you can give it a try though, but generally the condition that you described requires prescription medications, good luck

Question 5

can transitioning formulas lead to diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All foods, including formulas, are digested differently.  Making a change between formulas will cause the intestines to digest different nutrients.  This may cause temporary constipation, diarrhea, or both (or neither) until your digestive system adapts.  Many people find that with changing formula their child gets looser stool and a diaper rash in the short term; should resolve in a week or two.

Question 6

what  will clear diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If it is an irritant diaper rash, involving buttocks, thighs, and not the skin crease, then desitin, (zinc oxide diaper cream) a7d, balmex, etc. If it involves the skin creases, spares the bum, and there are some red dots involving the area above the genitas, then it maybe a yeast infection.And lamisil, or lotromin will help.

Question 7

how to take care of a diaper rash?

Accepted Answer

Diaper Rash: Ask your doctor if a diaper rash cream would be helpful. Zinc oxide or petroleum jelly-based products help keep moisture away from baby's skin when applied to completely clean, dry skin

avoid using wipes that have alcohol or perfume. They may dry out or irritate the skin more

do not use corn starch on your baby's bottom. It can make a yeast diaper.

Question 8

diaper rash will cornmeal really work

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Some like this product as a drying agent.I find it just another source of food for hungry bacteria that sit on the skin surface.Add a little moisture from sweat & baby can breed many germs.Like any product it may work for some, i just don't recommend it.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Occlusion rashes: Skin that is moist and covered with tight material, especially when activities cause friction between a material and the skin, can produce rashes.

Question 10

best way to handle diaper rash in adults?

Accepted Answer

Diaper rash: Same way as babies.  Barrier cream or ointment to prevent irritation from the next wet or dirty diaper.  Apply liberally after every change. Small amounts of cortisone if very red or irritated.
