A member asked:

My daughter had a rash in her diaper area her doctor prescribed her hydrocortisone ointment 2.5% but now the area is red how long should i let it stay red before taking her back to the doctor?

Take her now: She needs something different, maybe Miconazole (otc). Ketoconazole or Clotrimazole are the same.

Healing process: Redness may be part of the healing process and should lighten in several days.
