    Id suggest giving her a baby probiotic to get things fixing from the inside as well making sure there is no fragrances in anything used on that area. Do you use cloth or disposable nappies?

    You sure it's thrush and not just nappy rash? Ask for a swab to be done

    Thrush starts in the gut, no matter where it manifests on the body. Whats her diet like?

    Ok so it's getting slightly better again. Second doctor said yes it's thrush and there's nothing else to do but keep using anti fungal creams. I use disposables so I have been doing nappy free before her bath for about 30-40 minutes. Problem is she is scratching it when there is no nappy and making it worse. I just try and distract her.
    Her diet is good, I generally don't fee her any junk ( I switched to no/low sugar for myself last year so there's no rubbish in the house unfortunately ) Although she does have a fair bit of bread. Easy sandwiches or toast! Last week it came good and then got worse. So hopefully it will get better this time.
