4 weeks: If the desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) works, it will take one month for complete resolution. It will start to work in about a week this is not the strongest antifungal on the market.

Why desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream)?: There are much better antifungal products to use. Try lotrimin ultra or Lamisil cream. Either should clear it up a lot faster than desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) (which is mostly zinc oxide).
