Yeast Infection or Just Irritated?

You can combine cortisone, neosporin, and clotrimazole and apply it - it addresses the three most common causes of recurrent diaper rash.

You can also buy her some GIRL wipes (Kandoo) to use. If she's a girly girl, decorate the box with ribbons. If not, just put her picture on them or something.

If the Desitin isn't helping, I'd take her to the doctor. If it is a yeast infection, the doctor can prescribe something or recommend an OTC ointment to use.

I use monistat cream (generic works great too) on my little one. It really helps and cures the problem fast! The Destitin burns!! The huggies flushable wipes work really well. The Kandoo ones smell kind of funny. :)

I would suggest Balmex. It works soooo much better and faster than Desitin. I even used it on my daughter's ears when they became infected after having them pierced (they were bad!) and it cleared up the infectiion by the next day and it provided instant relief.

Why don't you try those wonderful flushable wet wipes? I can't think of the name of them off the top of my head, but they're right there by the regular toilet paper. They have little frogs or something on the box. lol. I just can't think of what they're called, but they do seem to help get all the residue off.

Don't forget about urinary tract infections as well. Little girls don't clean as well so the risk of infection increases. Keep an eye our for urinary frequency, itchness, redness, fever, or burning while urinating. You can also look for blood in urine or pus in the urine (cloudy). Sometimes if it smells real bad (not related to like broccoli or asparagus) that can indicate a urinary infection as well.
