A member asked:
Can you use zinc and castor oil cream on diaper thrush?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This will not be effective in treating the yeast infection. It is a great diaper cream for irritative diaper rash, but will not do anything for curing yeast. You need an anti-fungal treatment for a yeast infection. Call your doctor for a prescription for Nystatin or other appropriate treatment if you are sure the rash is yeast.
