Could my son have thrush around his nappy area?

Hello,

My son has had a red rash around the right side of his scrotum and top of his thigh. It's around the size of a 50 c piece. It's quite red with a few dots thrown in for good measure. It doesn't seem to bother him much. Normally paw paw cream clears up any nappy rash, but it's been there for a few weeks now and it's not really moving.

I have thrush at the moment and I'm wondering whether he could have thrush as well?

Any advice on treatments would be great.

Cheers,
Fiona

usually thrush will look like nappy rash with a few isolated spots away from the main area. Is that what it looks like? With my work I find Daktarin or Nilstat ointment works very well. Start with one and if that doesn't work try the other as they are different anti-fungals. I'm not sure about natural remedies, but I am sure there are a few good ones out there.

Thanks Little Chicken. As soon as I posted this I consulted Dr Google and looked at some pics of different rashes. It is definitely thrush so I've bought the Daktarin. Hopefully he will come good in a few days.
