Hi,

If the nappy rash is not getting better then I would suggest a repeat clinical evaluation as she might need some antifungal and steroids cream for her nappy area. You can continue Mylocort for face but if it's not getting better or getting worse we can also use a strong steroid for a small time period but needs clinical evaluation first as long duration of steroids can also have side effects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shehla Usman, Pediatrician
