Diaper rash or Strep infection

2024-01-27 14:32:41
Our 20 days old son has rash around his anus area from past 8-10 days. We applied Soliderm for 6 days as suggested by his pediatrician but see no improvement. Have started using Flutivate E as suggested by his pediatrician since Friday but we do not see much difference yet. We never used diapers instead we used cotton langots. We did use wet wipes in the start, but after these rashes appeared, we started using cotton and plain water to clean. Looking for a second opinion now. Is it really only a rash? Or is it a Strep infection or any other infection?his feed is good,feeding almost every 1 and half hours. He is passing urine 10-12 times a day and stool around 4-5 times a day. Please advice.

Use Candid cream twice a day. Apply Siloderm over it. Flutivate can be stopped
Next Steps
Culture test from around the area will show if there is a Strept infection which will need antibiotics oral and ointment
