antifungal spray for diaper rash?
 

When Joshua got diaper rash, I put a little of that antifungal spray for
athlete's foot on my finger and touched it on his rash. It really worked. But
is it safe? Has anybody else tried this, and are there reasons not to?

we were just given an anti fungal cream for a yeast infection that my
daughter was diagnosed with today (along with a bladder infection) I dont
imagine it would hurt anything.

I haven't used the spray but we do use the generic for Lotrimin AF. Our ped
told me to use it on both of my daughters when they got a yeast rash. I
looked at the ingredients and they are *exactly* the same as the 3 day
medicine used for a woman's yeast infection. I've used it on 2 daughters.

If you're not comfortable using that, there is a great line of products
someone on MKB told me about when I thought Lily had a yeast rash as a very
young newborn. It's called California Baby. You can get it online, not
sure which *real* stores carry it. Their products have tea tree oil and
some other ingredient that are natural antifungals and safe for babies. I
ended up buying a lot more stuff from them and I've always been happy. And
no, I don't work for the company! Just really like their products.

DS had a diaper rash and after trying every brand of diaper rash cream
on the market we called his pediatrician and she recommended Lotrimin
AF, which is an anti-fungal ointment. It really worked so I don't see
why a spray would hurt anything.

Have you tried tea tree oil? A few drops mixed into your usual baby
cream or even neat on areas is an amazing antifungal.

Allergy-prone families may want to avoid using tea tree oil neat. Direct
application is the fastest way I know to a tea tree allergy. (got one
myself...)

Interesting your the first person I've met with an allergy to that, it
must be awful going through life allergic to so many things, I was
reading your food thread, poor you that must suck. I couldn't survive
without my tea tree oil in my first aid kit (that and Lavender), it's my
first aid for all bites and stings, good for hubby's stinky feet after
being in work boots all day lol, I use it as an antiseptic on cuts, I
put it in the rinse of my nappies, I've used it on mouth ulcers, gammy
fingers on babies, all sorts, it's a wonder oil. And I rarely dilute it
on me, unless it's being used in a soak, on my kids I often use a
carrier, except on yeasty bums, but if you have lots of allergies then
it would be wise to dilute it, and test patch it first.

I'm not allergic to it, but both myself and Shrimp are sensitive to
it. We both came out with a really bad itchy rash after I used some
sorbolene cream with 10% tea tree oil. But then he seems to have
quite sensitive skin anyway and Thud seems to have developed sensitive
skin.

Oh, that's exactly the rash I get...itchy, looks and feels like poison oak.
Actually, that's how I react to strawberry leaves too (and I'm deathly
allergic to strawberries) so I just avoid the stuff like the plague now.

I was not always allergic to it--it took me a couple years to start having a
rash in response to it. Before that I *loved* tea tree oil for everything. I
just wish I'd used it a little less often so maybe I wouldn't be sensitive
now. Best think in the whole world for a sun burn.
