Can mometasone furoate cream be used for diaper rash?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but I would not use anything that wasn't prescribed to your child directly from a doctor. I was just prescribed that for my 21 month old daughter who has experienced her very first diaper rash, that won't go away despite the usage of various other OTC creams. She was prescribed 0.1 mg used twice daily for 5-7 days. Since it is not an infection and she isn't using an antibiotic and the cream is just to help get rid of the rash, I will only use it until the rash is gone. Hope this answers your question. Though I strongly advise you see your child's pediatrician.

Yes, it can actually. I tried it once and it cured in withing a couple of hours. all you have to do it pour about 1/4 of the bottle onto your foot ( or where ever it is ) and rub it in and let it sit, uncovered. It is crucial that you use a lot of cream or else it may form a slight rash or peel, so you want to use enough or more than enough to be safe. Thanks for reading and good luck!

When is cornstarch powder an effective treatment for diaper rash?

Asked by GaleEncyofMedicine

It doesn't cure diaper rash--cornstarch is mixed with talc to make powder. It is thought to help absorb wetness. If the baby has a rash, a cream with zinc oxide will help heal the rash before it gets out of hand. The baby should also have some time without a diaper on, since air helps.
