What Causes White Patches On The Skin Along With Diaper Rash?
My 15 month old daughter has had diarrhea, and therefore has developed a diaper rash, as she tends to do. We have been keeping her clean and slathered in Balmex, but now I noticed several white patches where the rash was most severe. I thought it was leftover diaper cream, but when I tried to wipe them off, they wouldn t move, and hurt her. Could this be thrush?

Hi.... I agree with you, this could be mild fungal infection or thrush and suggest you to do two things.
You can upload an image of the region on this website and get back to us or con sult your pediatrician.
I am suggesting this because skin conditions needed to diagnosed and be treated after visualising them.
