Is Diaper Cream Advisable For Sore In The Crease Of An Infant Leg?
Hi my 5 month old baby girl has a sore innthe crease of her leg wear the diaper could rub. We use baby powder after every diaper change. I wiped her this morning and she starting crying. I looked further and it was bleeding. It s about 1 inch long but only in the crease. It seemed wet so I put powder on it. What is better to use. Diaper cream or powder?

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, from the given history it can be said that this could be contact dermatitis, and Mometasone cream is advisable but before that better to try "Diphenhydramine lotion" if it could ever helps hope this information helps.
