baby yeast rash Treating a yeast diaper rash

After the responses to my juice question saying it sounds like Julie has a yeast rash, I took Julie in today and the doctor made no mention of yeast, she said it just looked like sensitive skin to her. Well, this was the first time I've ever met this particular pediatrician (it's a practice of 6, pretty random who you get each time) so I told her this is just about the first time Julie's ever had a diaper rash so I didn't think her skin was all that sensitive. I told her how juice triggers a flare-up. But, of course it just so happens that today it is looking pretty good, so I'm wondering if she just didn't have enough to go on to make an accurate diagnosis. She wrote a pre_script_ion for an antibiotic cream. On the way home it occurred to me, wouldn't an antibiotic make a yeast rash *worse*? What do you all suggest I do? Use the cream, or not? Call the doctor back again?

Call the doctor back again? Why not try an OTC anti-fungal creme? If it's yeast the antibiotic cream won't work. I don't know if it would make it worse or not. I'm leery of using antibiotics if it's not *clearly* an infection. There are a lot of superbugs out there because of antibiotics being prescribed for problems that have nothing to do with infection. Since you wrote the juice thread, my DD's yeast rash is almost cleared up. The anti-fungal creams work pretty fast.

Nope. My fil is a pharmicst/compounder, and he makes up a cream that has canesten and hydrocortisone cream. It took away my kids bad rash.. The cream has antibiotics *plus* clotrimazole and hydrocortisone? I could see a cream that has an anti-fungal agent combined with a steroid but all three? Also, isn't using steroids on toddlers considered a last resort? I just find it odd that a dr. would prescribe an antibiotic for a diaper rash. I know what an infection looks like, it's all pus-like and if it's really bad it would have red streaks radiating from it. Is this a common dx. to treat diaper rashes (either irritated skin or yeast) with antibiotics? Maybe I am just over-reacting to this. <shrug
