Candida: A diaper rash can cause small breaks in the skin that allow fungus and bacteria to enter and cause a local infection. The most common in babies is candida (yeast). Use a yeast infection cream containing clotrimazole (usually found in the vaginal health area of the pharmacy) 2-3 times a day for 3-5 days. (Apply the clotrimazole cream first then cover with Sebamed)
