Symptoms
Baby has a painful rash from soiled diaper. There are red dots outside the main body of the rash.
Baby has both Irritant Dermatitis from stool, and a superficial yeast infection with Candida.
Recovery
Dr. Harlan typically provides the following instructions to his patients for the treatment of diaper rash: Change the baby's diaper extra-frequently, gently cleansing the skin.
Then, apply a thin layer of Perfect Repair™ prebiotic miosturizer, or another recommended moisturizer. Allow baby to “air out” for as long as practical before applying a new diaper. Twice daily use clotrimazole cream (Lotrimin® cream) or whatever your pediatrician recommends for a yeast infection. At bedtime or before long naps apply a paste-like cream (Desitin®, A&D®) and use a thin layer, not thick. (Skin must breathe.)
When these measures alone are not helping significantly, add SmartLotion® twice daily for 7 days to this program. If not improving, see your Pediatrician or Dermatologist for a skin culture swabbing for both Candida yeast and Staph bacteria. Pimples with pus strongly suggest Staph. Ask your Pediatrician for cleansing instructions with dilute Chlorhexidine for Staph.
