Don't assume it was diaper rash. You should really consult a pediatrician. The severe diaper rash that you mentioned could have been candida, which is a yeast infection.

Anti-fungal creme such as athletes foot creme will usually cure it right up. But, again, consult a doctor.

Yes, we've issues with that before. The Clotrimazole cures it fast. Ally 13 months ago .

I used it when ever I saw diaper rash, the age never concerned me.

Well, diaper cream is for diaper rash. Not to be used every day like lotion. So I would say the age doesn't matter - it is a case of if the kid has rash or not.No rash - no diaper cream.

Seems to me changing the diaper regularly would do the same thing.

That's what I thought until we had severe diaper rash constantly. The diaper was been changed nonstop. Ally 13 months ago .

And washing babies private area with a mild soap and water when you change the diaper should be enough. I would think a heavy cream would cause fungal infections,etc - from not allowing the skin to dry properly.

Well you use baby wipes and you let it dry before applying cream. Ally 13 months ago .

Then you don't need the cream. I have children. I never used diaper cream, and they never got diaper rash.

But,it's your money, and your baby, so do whatever you think is right. I'm just saying that in my opinion, its a waste of money, and would actually cause more problems than it might cure. The diaper wearing child is going to pee into the cream, and the cream is going to keep the urine from soaking into the diaper padding.

Instead, it is going to hold the urine next to babies skin, causing a rash.

Well if it works for you that's good. The cream actually blocked the moisture and prevented alot of problems. The diaper was really wet.

I'm interested to see what different people do. Ally 13 months ago .

I wouldn't be concerned about the age. My grandson got a rash at the beach this summer, most likely caused by sand grating on his privates. My daughter went out and bought diaper cream and told him to put it on.It cleared it up.

I also used it frequently with my 2 children. Desiten was an absolute life saver, and they never had severe infections.

While they still use diapers to prevent diaper rash. Keeping the child clean is the most important thing. Sometimes the urine being concentrated causes the rashes.

Make sure the child has enough liquids.
