Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your son is suffering from fungal (Candida albicans ) nappy
rash. The main cause of nappy rash is wetness from contact with wee and poo in a nappy. Newborns wee often and do frequent, runny poos. Even the most absorbent nappy leaves some moisture on a baby's delicate new skin. This then makes it harder for your baby's skin to work as a barrier, making it more likely her skin will become irritated.
You may take the following measures to treat him:
-Keep your baby clean and dry by changing her nappy frequently.
-Clean your baby's bottom using fragrance-free and alcohol-free baby wipes (check the label) or a mild, moisturising cleanser. Rinse your baby's bottom in plain water and pat her skin dry.
-Give your baby as much nappy-free time as possible, to allow the air to aid healing.
-Apply a thin layer of barrier cream or ointment before putting on a clean nappy.
Apply
Nystatin lotion over the area to treat the present yeast infection.
If your baby's nappy rash is the result of an
allergy, the problem should clear up on its own as long as you don't use the product that set off the rash.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
