A. Hello father, Signs of a diaper rash caused by a yeast infection include: A dark red rash within a slightly raised, distinct border. Pimples, blisters, ulcers, or sores filled with pus. Rash that hangs around after two days of diaper rash treatments. Scaly or flaky areas. Small red bumps or pimples outside the border. If a yeast infection is responsible for a diaper rash: The rash tends to be worse in the folds around the groin. There may be inflamed patches with defined edges and small, pimple-like bumps. The patches may also appear beyond the diaper area. There may also be a yeast infection in the mouth. The best treatment for diaper rash is to keep your baby's skin as clean and dry as possible. If your baby's diaper rash persists despite home treatment, your doctor may prescribe: A mild hydrocortisone (steroid) cream. An antifungal cream, if your baby has a fungal infection.
