Preventing diaper rash seems to be a never ending battle. Yes diaper rash is a yeast infection. The most important method of preventing diaper rash, is to keep the area as dry as possible. As often as possible, leave the diaper off to expose the area to air. Often diaper rash occurs when the baby has had diarrhea, which irritates the skin. Therefore, at such at time, it is important to change the diaper as soon as possible after a bowel movement. The regular use of a barrier cream, such as Vaseline or lanolin, protects the skin from the irritating effects of urine and feces. The barrier cream must be applied to clean skin only and may be removed with baby oil. The affected area should be cleaned with baby oil or plain water, using no soap. Do not wash the area with soap. We apply an ointment-based barrier cream to protect the area such as Vaseline. Cleaning the baby with unscented baby oil or mineral oil., is always a good idea. NOTE: If you are using cloth diapers, wash the diaper in soap (e.g., Ivory Soap), not detergent. After washing, they should be rinsed and boiled in water for five minutes.

The most ordinary symptoms include: Vaginal burning; Vaginal itching; Vulva irritation; White, cheesy discharge or thick whitish-gray discharge that may have an odor like baking yeast; Redness, swelling, and discharge from the mucous membranes of the vagina; Discomfort during or after sexual intercourse.; Inflammation, swelling, or burning of the external vaginal area (the vulva). There may also be a discharge, rash, and/or sores; Painful and/or frequent urination

Identification of vaginal yeast infection in most women is estimated at about 75% will get at least one yeast infection in their lifetime. Yeast infections are usually first diagnosed when you are aware of an odorless discharge that is cottage cheese-like in nature and/or an irritation in the area. Vaginal discharge is not always present, but if it is, you may not even notice it. Symptoms may vary from quite mild to severe. You may have no symptoms at all. If you have never had a yeast infection before please see a health care professional before starting any treatment.

Here is something my wife says works very well. Tampon, which is made with garlic. Peel a garlic clove. Be careful not to nick it, as some women claim the garlic oil can burn. Some women dip the clove in fresh olive oil that has been refrigerated, to enhance the medicinal effects. Wrap the clove in a thin piece of [S1] cheese cloth or gauze, fold the cloth in half and tie a knot, leaving some extra at the end, or just twist the cloth into a tail. Insert it in the vagina like a tampon. Alternatively, you can insert the garlic without the cloth. Remove the clove by inserting a finger behind the clove and popping it out like a diaphragm. Replace the tampon with a fresh garlic clove every 3-5 hours. Repeat for 2-3 a day until the infection is gone.
