    Best foods/cream for nappy rash

    I've always used Amolin - it has a thick oily base (almondu oil) but also includes zinc. Usually enough to stave off full- blown rash.

    If however, it goes the next step & takes hold, best to use an over the counter fungal cream (canesten) with a mild steroid (sigmacort). There's a product you can buy that combines both ingredients called hydrozole.

    ETA personally I've always steered clear of powder based formulations - they either have talc (carcinogen) or cornstarch (which can become gritty when damp).

    Thaks Joeve and Marydean. Can all these items be found at the chemist? I'm hoping it will clear up by tomorrow, if not I will head to the chemist.

    Only thing I use for bad rash is Daktozin - expensive but works wonders and it's chemist only cream
    Any other time I use Bepanthen antiseptic cream

    Id stay away from using any powder

    Yes, all off the shelf or over the counter.
