How long does a diaper yeast rash take to go away with prescription anti fungal cream?

You should see a difference pretty quickly, but my daughter%26#039;s took about 2 weeks to clear up. We were told not to use baby wipes on her during that time. We either rinsed her in the tub (if possible) or used wet paper towels. If possible let the little one go without a diaper and air-dry for a little while.|||if applied as directed not longer than a week.





good luck, hun.|||I have a secret that works in a day or two: Mix A LOT of diaper rash ointment with a smaller amount (so it doesn%26#039;t hurt the newborn skin) of over the counter first aid antibiotic ointment (use both ointments-I use A%26amp;D as well as a generic antibiotic first aid ointment). Put it on the rash liberally and it will clear up by tomorrow or the next day. It truly works....but, you might want to ask your doctor if the antibiotic ointment is okay for your younger baby%26#039;s skin. I didn%26#039;t ask mine (I would if I had a newborn today just because I%26#039;m more anal about these things now) but it didn%26#039;t hurt my son at all. It helped tremendously.|||You should see a result within 24 hours. Remember to pat the baby%26#039;s bottom dry well before applying the cream. Wash your hands before and after. Change the diaper often to keep the skin dry.|||Took DD just a couple of days.|||It can take a week or more. Keep applying it after every diaper change (and change diapers often)


I know, my daughter had two when she was in diapers. It will go away!|||2-3 days. Once it goes away, continue to use the cream for about a week otherwise it will come right back.








Once the cream starts to work the skin will peel off and new, fresh, clean skin will be underneath, on like the 2nd day.|||from my own experience, a prescription anti fungal cream can take up to 1 week....what i did was used baby Aquaphor. It is the best stuff made for a baby%26#039;s bottom....it will clear up anything!!|||It might take up to a week. If it doesn%26#039;t improve during that time I would take my child to the doctor and he/she might change medication.


Good Luck!!!|||It can actually take as long as with regular diaper creams. I found that airing out the babys bottom helps big time in conjunction with the diaper creams. Expect results within a few days. If this continues take your baby back and get checked out further!|||If there is no improvement in 48 hours you need to switch creams. Not all rashes will go away in 48 hours, it can take a week or more, but if there is NO noticeable improvement in 48 hours chances are that particular cream isn%26#039;t going to work.





In OTC treatments there are three commonly used medications, I assume there are a few more in the prescription section.|||two days|||You have not mentioned what type of antifungal was prescribed. When my son had this problem, and it was pretty serious, Nystatin cream worked rather quickly. It just seemed to quiet the rash down rather quickly and effectively. It may depend upon what you have been prescribed. You may need to also alter the diet a little, or give a little acidophilous.|||Should see a difference after the first diaper change. If you don%26#039;t see a difference in 24 -48 hours call your doctor and tell him. The fungus may be resistant to that cream. Sometimes requires a change of medication.
