When is cornstarch powder an effective treatment for diaper rash?
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.
