A member asked:
Can you place a drop of baby's oral nystatin on your nipples or the cream nystatin (for his yeast diaper rash)?

Wrong path: You are trying to cure a topical problem with an internal route. Diaper rash is on a baby's butt not in it. You need to apply the proper ointment or medication to the rash.

Drops: If your baby has oral thrush and is recycling yeast through contaminated nipples you can apply the Nystatin suspension to see if it helps.The cream would leave a funny after taste.Limit the cream to the diaper rash or other skin sites with a similar appearance.
