Our doc has had us use nizoral or canesten for fungal diaper rashes, but be careful: I’ve been told that antifungals can burn on open sores. We did have one that couldn’t be cleared up by regular diaper creams and she needed nizoral script. Also there are different types and concentrations here so best to call your docs office and ask.
Also, our new favourite diaper rash cream here is called CANUS L’il Goats diaper cream. I love it!!! We used to use desitin (which in Canada only has 37 percent zinc oxide), but I found that it didn’t always clear up the rashes and smelled from a mile away. This one is really cheap for a big tub and Sarah reports that it “feels good on her boo boos”, and has cleared up some nasty ones on both girls. It’s made with 40 percent zinc oxide, goat’s milk, urea (to stop burning), paraffin and other soothing and protective ingredients.

Hope he can get some relief soon.
