Can't get rid of nappy rash

[AnyDream]

On the few occaisions my DDs have had bad nappy rash I've used an antifungal cream (like canesten) along with sigmacort which is a weak steroidal cream you can get over the counter, which soothes rashes etc. Usually clears up over a day or two using these.

If you don't get a response from using these, please see your dr as it is possible to get a staph-like infection and it may need ABs to clear it up.

Thank you so much for all of your replies ladies. We started some antifungal cream last night so hopefully that will fix it. I am yet to see it this morning to see what it looks like today cause she is still in bed

In regards to washing the nappies in canestan where do I get that from? I feel a bit silly not knowing I definately want to do this so she doesn't get it again and I don't want my DS to get it either. Also when it does start to clear up if I am still using the cream can I use my MCN with the antifungal cream? Should I just put a liner in the nappy?

Kristin27 - That sounds exactly like my DD rash. I will keep using the cream for a while once it has cleared up.

Thanks again.

I'm sure I've seen canesten rinse just at coles? or woolies whichever one you go to normally.

And I'd use liners in the nappies whilst using the cream - just in case!

Wonderful thank you. I will pop into the shops and get some when I can.
