Intertrigo: Your child may not have a yeast infection but a bacterial infection. Your child has an intertrigo from moisture. A good prescription is vytone cream 1% which has two components: an iodine derivative that treats yeast, bacteria and fungus and a mild cortisone to help with the skin irritation.

"diaper rash": A number of conditions cause so called "diaper rash." i wonder about the duration of treatment rendered since 6 different creams, independently or in combination, have been used in 2 weeks period. If no response to Nystatin was observed in a week, the child is unlikely to have yeast infection unless immunocompromised. Seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and zinc deficiency are other possibilities.
