A member asked:
Can i put nystatin on my baby's face if he has a rash? please help he is 5 months old

Unnecessary : A rash on a baby's face isn't likely due to a yeast infection, which is the type of rash that Nystatin treats. The baby's doctor should take a look at the rash to determine if the rash needs to be treated with medication.

Maybe: If your child's rash is a fungal rash, it is safe to apply a very thin layer. Your question requires more information to adequately provide you with a definitive answer. 1) what type of rash is it? 2) is it localized? 3) is it wet or dry? 4) itching? 5) has he/she had this before? 6) when did it start? These would help narrow down the correct answer.
