Diaper rash


My father has a diaper rash and the doctor thinks it is fungus. Can you recommend a treatment?
You may try Micalog. It is a combination of a steroid and a topical antifungal agent. It is very effective. However, you must keep the area clean and dry. Keep the entire area open to air for a few days and avoid tight fitting diapers or undergarments. This is vital. Apply a barrier cream like petrolatum jelly to minimize urine and fecal contact with skin. These basic maneuvers will help get rid of the fungus.
