Q. What's better for my baby, cloth nappies or disposables?
A. There are pros and cons for each method, but the most important thing is getting your baby out of a wet and dirty nappy as soon as possible which will help minimise the chance of nappy rash.
Q. Is it safe to use Canesten on babies?
A. It is suitable to use Canesten Clotrimazole Anti-Fungal Cream ONLY which is an anti-fungal cream that has been used to treat fungal nappy rash for many years. Please consult your healthcare professional for advice.
Q. Should I do anything differently for a boy versus a girl?
A. Whether you have a baby girl or boy you still want to make sure that you keep the nappy area as clean and dry as possible. When cleaning a baby girl, always make sure you wipe her genitals from front to back. When cleaning a baby boy make sure you keep his penis clean on all sides, including the tip.
Q. Do I need take my baby to see a doctor to get treatment?
A. Canesten Clotrimazole Anti-Fungal Cream is available from your pharmacist without a prescription for the treatment of fungal nappy rash. If you are concerned about whether Canesten is the correct treatment for your baby, ask your pharmacist or healthcare professional for advice. If your baby's nappy rash is either worsening or not clearing up you should discuss this with your healthcare professional who will give you additional advice.
