A member asked:
14month toddler has diarrhea (4days) now and has developed a red rash on the buttocks. should we go to the doctor? what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Basics: Such rashes are often just irritation from acidic stools but may also become yeast filled over time. Simple barrier creams like petroleum jelly or zinc oxide can help some, An antifungal cream may be needed if this does not improve things in a day or two. A doc visit is okay if convenient but likely unnecessary.
