Treatment Of Diaper Rash

The best treatment for diaper rash is to keep baby's skin dry and clean as possible. If the baby's diaper rash persists during home treatment, your doctor may prescribe:

Use creams or ointments containing steroids that if the pediatrician or dermatologist recommends it - strong steroids or frequent use can cause additional problems.

Diaper rashes usually require several days to improve and can continue for weeks. If the rash persists despite prescription treatment, your doctor may recommend that the child to see a dermatologist.
