Can i put denstin rash cream on other places (besides tushie)?

Question

my 3 month old son has really red skin, and very very slight blistering, behing his chubby knees and a little in his neck...what can i do to stop this irritation. is it okay to put rash cream on it?

Answer 1

i did. or dry him well and use baby powder. and be safe and tell his doctor at his next visit  

Answer 2

My daughter had a lot of irritation under her neck at this age because of drool and her chubby little face. Diaper rach cream worked great with keeping the moisture out of direct conact. I still had to wipe frequently and reapply. Also, if it gets really bad, ask your doctor about low dose hydrocortizone cream.

* I also tried powder but it just caked up and got really messy and didn't help.

Answer 3

Under his neck?  My dd got that and I just dried it with a washcloth and then put a dab of desitin on...worked like a charm.

Answer 4

We use desitin clear multi purpose and with that you can use it anywhere.

Answer 5

my pediatrician prescribe nyastatin cream.  the rash is caused by yeast, so keeping it dry makes a big difference too.

Answer 6

Just try to keep him dry under the folds of his skin. I would try baby powder first and talk to a doctor about the desitin

Answer 7

yea, my son had a sore under his neck from sweat and food no matter how much we cleaned it it was just a raw sore. the pediatrician told me to put desitine on it
