What Could Cause Severe Itchy Rash With Discharge In A Child With No Help From Nystatin Powder And Corizone Cream?

My 3 yr old Daughter started having discharge a couple weeks ago, doctor said it would clear up on it s own. A severe rash developed, doctor prescribed Nystatin powder and cream along with Cortizone cream for the itchiness. Been giving that to her for 2 days, it s only getting worse and it s spreading onto my hands from applying the creams. I have been washing my hands with soap afterwards. Should she be prescribed Diflucan for this? I m not buying the whole, it ll go away on it s own thing. What do you think?

Hi.... I feel that she is having a fungal infection and definitely this will not go off on its own. She needs a good anti fungal and a dermatological consultation.

But, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
