When you’re expecting a new baby or raising a toddler, you want them to be happy, comfortable and healthy.
Even though you do your best, some issues will arise despite careful attention. Problems like diaper rash and ringworm are two issues that can affect your baby’s skin.
Fortunately, an antifungal cream can help.
What is an antifungal cream?
First, it’s important to note that some yeast infections will require a doctor’s attention.
For mild cases of ringworm or diaper rash, a natural multi-purpose antifungal cream can be used. It will help to deal with the problem because it contains antiseptic and has anti-inflammatory properties. The cream should relieve itching, irritation and redness when applied to the affected area.
The best antifungal creams include Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden seal) root & rhizome extract as the main active ingredients. Both have been used for many years as medicinal agents.
Botani’s Phytoseptic natural antifungal cream has been the passion of parents for many years. One of its most popular uses is to treat ringworm and diaper rash.
If you’re not sure what skin problem you’re seeing, here’s some information about ringworm and diaper rash.
What is ringworm?
Although the name suggests a “worm” infestation, ringworm is a rash caused by a fungal infection. It got its name because it can appear in the form of a ring on the skin.
A ringworm outbreak can be spread from person to person or from animal to person. It is contagious and caused by mold-like parasites that live on the outer layers of the skin. These parasites can even travel from an object to a human in some cases.
The fungus that causes ringworm loves warm climates and travels best through skin-to-skin contact. This is part of the reason why babies can end up with this condition.
Ringworm can appear on the trunk, buttocks, legs and hands. You may notice raised and/or overlapping red “rings” on yourself or your baby. As mentioned, mild cases can usually be treated with an antifungal cream. If the infection persists, consult a doctor.
Ringworm can be difficult to prevent. Aim to wash your hands, keep your nails short and watch where you and your child walk barefoot. Try to avoid public toilets/changing rooms, parks and public showers.
What is diaper rash?
Most babies and toddlers experience nappy rash at some stage. It occurs when the skin is irritated by friction or the acidic contents of the child’s bladder and bowel movements.
The best way to prevent diaper rash is to change your child’s diaper after use. However, sometimes you won’t notice that they have “deposited” or it will take you a while to find a place to change your child.
You’ll know it’s diaper rash if the skin looks red and sore. There may even be peeling or breaking of the skin (ouch). It can also appear outside the folds of their legs where their diaper rubs.
Raisingchildren.net.au recommends seeing a doctor about diaper rash if:
- the diaper rash has not improved after a week
- there are blisters, crusts or pimples
- your child is fussy and won’t sleep
- your child has an unexplained fever;
- The rash is spreading
- you notice inflammation, swelling or scabbing at the end of their penis.
If you want to treat and prevent diaper rash, an antifungal cream can help. Other tips for prevention include:
- make sure your child is properly clean after a diaper change
- allowing for some free diaper time
- reducing fluids before bed (to minimize long nights in a wet nappy).
