How can i best take care of diaper rash?

Varies: Treatment varies with the type of rash.A yeast rash is generally quite bumpy & red & requires an anti-fungal agent.An acidic "scorched" appearing rash often responds to a simple barrier ointment or a prescription cream. Some "red patch" areas are just healing skin & need time to heal more & lose their reddened appearance. An exam can sort these out.

Diaper rash: For diaper rash keep baby's skin clean & dry. Change diaper as soon as it's soiled or wet. For healing allow baby to go without diaper for periods of time so affected area can air out. Avoid tight diapers or airtight covers over diaper. Meds your Dr. might recommend include antifungal cream (for fungus), a steroid cream (for significant inflammation) or an antibiotic (for bacterial infection.)
