Health Tip: Signs of a Yeast Diaper Rash

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter


(HealthDay News) -- While diaper rash is common and usually clears up with at-home care, a yeast diaper rash can be more serious and may need a doctor's attention.


The Boston Children's Hospital mentions these warning signs:



  • Development of sores or blisters that are larger than 1 inch across.

  • A rash that doesn't get better within three days, or a rash that starts to bleed or turns bright red or raw.

  • Formation of crusts, pimples, blisters or boils.

  • A rash that spreads beyond the diaper area, or affects baby's sleep.

  • Development of a fever for an unknown reason.
