I've been dealing with persistent diaper rash on my infant, and the pediatrician prescribed Nystatin Top Pwdr 100,000 15gm. I've never used an antifungal powder before, so I'm a bit uncertain. The doctor mentioned that it treats fungal infections by stopping yeast growth, which makes sense given the moist environment of baby skin folds. The urgent side effects listed are scary — especially the allergenic reactions, but those should be pretty obvious signs. I'm just wondering if anyone has any practical experience using this and if you recommend using the powder over other medications. Is the application tricky? Does it actually work? The doctor didn't go into much detail, so I'd love some real-world insights. How well did this work for your baby and what was your overall experience?
