Anyone have experience with Nystatin Cream for diaper rash? Share your stories and tips!
I've been dealing with a painful yeast diaper rash for a while, and my doctor recommended Nystatin Cream 15gm. I've started using it, but I'm curious about others' experiences. How long did it take for the rash to clear up? Did anyone experience any side effects, and if so, how did you manage? I've heard of some serious side effects, but I'm hoping for the best. Also, any tips on application and frequency would be greatly appreciated. Let's share our experiences and help each other out!
I used it for a minor skin infection between my toes and it worked like a charm. Definitely worth a shot if you have a skin fold infection. It smells terrible, though.
Nystatin Cream worked wonders for my little one's diaper rash. It cleared up in about a week with no side effects. Just make sure to apply it after every diaper change and keep the area clean and dry.
I had a terrible reaction to Nystatin. My kid got hives and started wheezing. We had to rush to the ER. Be careful and watch for signs of an allergic reaction.
I've been using it for a few days and my skin looks like it's getting worse, not better. What should I do? Is it normal to take longer, or should I be worried?
I think it's important to note that you shouldn't use it if you have any open wounds or sores. I made that mistake and it stung like hell.
I found it really effective, but it did sting a bit when I first applied it. My doctor said that's normal. Just wanted to give a heads-up.
I've heard that using it in combination with other topical creams can make it less effective. Has anyone else experienced this?
I could never get the tube to open. I'm guessing I was doing it wrong but it was a huge hassle after a while so I went to the pill form instead. Don't know if it was as effective but it was more convenient.
I always seem to forget to take it when I leave the house. Does anyone have tips on keeping it on hand without it being a pain?
My baby hated it because it made their diaper area really cold and it would get everywhere. I had to apply it before bed and hope that it would work by the morning.
