Any one know if Nystatin & Triamcinolone Acetonide ( Cream ) USP is used for diaper rash?

If it comes in a red and white tube then yes it should be exactly what you need. My son's doctor prescribed this for our son when he was in diapers and ended up with a diaper rash and what he had prescribed started with a t and was in a red and white tube and the rash cleared up in 24 hours... I can not remember what it was and will have to call on it, it is basically 3 times stronger than what you would get over the counter for rashes, bites, irritations and so on... hope this helped a little... good luck with the little one...

Hey CameronsMommy,

Please do not use the triamcinolone cream on the baby's bottom until you talk to the doctor. This is a strong steroid that is to be used with caution and not to be covered after applied as it can increase the amount of medicine absorbed. It also is not to be used on thin tender type skin. Please consult the doctor before applying. The Nystatin is an antifungal which is probably not necesssary, depending on the source of the rash. Best to have the rash looked at by the doctor and go from there.

Best wishes,

Laurie

I would suggest your set your son in a warm bath (kitchen sink will do)with some baking soda to help soothe this rash until you can talk to your doctor or his nurse. They may wish to see him. Some times baby's can develope a yeast infection that will cause this rash. If you have some zinc oxide to protect the area until calling doctor it would be best until you find out what is causing this. the baking soda bath & zinc oxide will not effect the rash & may provide some help. Desitin is mostly zinc oxide, & protects the skin from urine & feces that may promote this rash. I would also suggest you not use diaper wipes as sometimes this will aggravate the condition. Use a warm wash clothe to clean this babys bottom after each diaper change. Just my thoughts...
