Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | yeast diaper rash |
| Dosage & duration: | | pea sized (dosage frequency: with each diaper change) for the period of 3 days, 12 or more times |
| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | had to administer otc hydrocortisone due to medication induced eczema | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Daily application, cured the fungal infection despite side effects. Over the counter use of lotrimin AG did no work, and prescription alternaitve medication using miconizole nitrate (same as in monistay) cost upwards of $200 / tube, as my insurance did not cover much of it. |
| Side effects: | | caused localized eczema that had to be treated with hydrocortisone cream, which is risky as that can cause damage to the skin under the diaper area. |
| Comments: | | had to apply with each diaper change, along with a otc diaper cream or applied with aquaphor, and twice a day had to add the otc hydrocortisone cream. |
