Our 1 week old baby has diaper rash and we’re using balmex/desitin. It seems to be working, but since we started applying the cream. We noticed that a little bit accumulates from chance to change taking a yellowish color due to her stool very close to her anus. Is that normal? What should we do?
You will get cream accumulating no matter what you use. Just try to use it sparingly.
Wow, already at a week old. That’s a very sensitive bottom. You need to use less creme. Read the pack, its not supposed to be reapplied fully every change.
If the rash is bad I think I would call the doctor and ask if its not clearing pretty fast.
If she gets yeast there its a royal misery.
Good luck.
it might not be cream it could be discharge from a yeast infection if the rash is really red and looks bad then it could be yeast have the doctor look at the next appointment. and try not using cream for a day and see if the discharge is still there
