Does my three year old daughter have a yeast infection?

Question

My 3 year old has pimple like bumps just on her behind. Not inside, just on her cheeks. She has no discharge or discomfort, smell or redness. Someone said she could have a yeast infection. I thought she just had some kind of rash on her behind, it doesn't itch her, they are just little red bumps. She does still wear a diaper to bed to sleep in case of an accident.

Answer 1

It doesn't sound like a yeast infection.  It sounds more like a rash, allergic reaction.

Answer 2

my son got a yeast infection when he was 2-3 months old.  i was given a prescription for nystatin and it was gone by the next day!  definitely take her in to see someone, if for no other reason than to rule everything out!  it could just be a skin irritation that would clear up using powder, but you'll never know without a doc looking at it.  best of luck!

Answer 3

My son had a yeast infection when he was about 6 months. She needs to go see a doctor to be sure she has it and they will give her some special diaper rash like cream.

Answer 4

Possibly heat rash?

Answer 5

It doesn't sound like one to me.. It sounds more like blemishes of some sort. My son gets them sometimes when he doesn't wash properly or a lot of moister in the air and he sweats a lot.  You can either try to add a lil baking soda to her bath that usualy clears up my son's bumps or if your really concerned take her to her peditrician. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 7
