A member asked:
How can i tell the difference between a fungal infection and diaper rash on my buttocks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test an area: A doctor such as a dermatologist can sample the area in question and test it for a fungus. A diaper rash, is usually caused by a chemical irritation of the skin, and should not produce growth of fungus.
