My baby girl is 5 months old. One day I see her private part some diaper rash infection. Because of lockdown I go to my nearby family physician. He gave me some antibiotics and the clobetasol cream. I used this cream. After 2 day this area is look like fill ok. I thought this infection is gone. But my bad luck. It's not gone. It spread. And take patches. Then I go pediatrician. He stop the all antibiotics and change the cream. Now he give me eumosone m. I think this is effective but after use this cream this infected areas skin is remove like paper. Why this happen. Is I go to Dr. For this.

The baby has to be kept dry all times. While cleaning the baby after stools, use a clean wet preferably cotton cloth and pat dry (instead of rubbing which causes friction and more damage). Mix any zinc containing ointment (happy nap/ derma dew diaper cream) with coconut oil and gently apply on the affected area. Keep a lookout for similar rashes in the thigh and buttock folds which might be a fungal infection. Avoid using steroid creams (eumosone is a steroid) as it might worsen fungal infection.

I would suggest to show it to the paediatrician. He would give the advice. Diaper rash are itchy. Till then, do not put the baby on diaper all the time. Clean the place with water and let it dry on it's own.
