A member asked:
Canestan hydrocortisone cream caused me to have a worse nappy rash, what can i do for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If yeast...: If your rash was really not a nappy rash but actually a yeast rash (the two can be very similar appearing in some cases), then cortisone would make that worse. Consider asking doc about an antifungal treatment instead and see if things get better.
