A member asked:
My 18 mo old has yeast diaper rash and nystatin hasn't worked at all! can i use an otc cream for the rash like clotrimazole ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can, but: use as directed, and twice a day for at least 10 - 14 days, keep the area clean and dry, treat oral candidiasis if present. If that doesn't work you need to see the pediatrician / dermatologist for a second look, best wishes
