Items Needed:

• Aveeno Powder
• Balmex Ointment
• Nystatin Ointment (by prescription only)
• 1% Hydrocortisone ointment (any over-the-counter brand)

Step 1:

• Fill tub with 6-8 inches of warm (NOT hot) water.
  – While filling tub, empty 1 Aveeno packet into tub & break up any clumps to dissolve completely.
• Place child in tub with affected area(s) outside of the water. DO NOT submerge the affected area under the water.
• Repeatedly splash the affected area(s) for 30-60 seconds, and then stop for 30-60 seconds while keeping the affected area out of the water. (This allows the water to evaporate which will heal the rash).
• Repeat the cycle of “splashing & resting” for 5 minutes.
• Rinse with clean water & exit tub.
• Gently pat dry and then using a warm to cool setting (NOT hot) blow dry the affected area(s) until completely dry.

Step 2:

• Mix the following in the palm of your hand:
  • 1 pea size amount of Nystatin
  • 1 pea size amount of 1% Hydrocortisone ointment
  • 3 pea size amounts of Balmex ointment
• Apply above mixture to entire area of rash until fully covered.
• Apply diaper, Pull Up, or underwear as usual.

Notes

Repeat “Step 1” 1-2 more times within 24 hours then 2-3 times/ day until healed.

Repeat “Step 2” 1-2 more times for the first 24 hours, then decrease to 2 times/day (8 hours apart).

You may apply a 50/50 mixture of Nystatin & Balmex (WITHOUT 1% Hydrocortisone ointment) with every diaper change.

Continue above steps until healed.
