A member asked:
What all, can cause a 2 month old baby, to get a yeast infection in diaper area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Usually just irritation of the skin due to excessive moisture on the area due to urine and stool will be sufficient to initiate this. Treat it topically and it should resolve fairly rapidly. Not very serious.
