I think it's important to note that you shouldn't use it if you have any open wounds or sores. I made that mistake and it stung like hell.
Nystatin Cream worked wonders for my little one's diaper rash. It cleared up in about a week with no side effects. Just make sure to apply it after every diaper change and keep the area clean and dry.
I used it for a minor skin infection between my toes and it worked like a charm. Definitely worth a shot if you have a skin fold infection. It smells terrible, though.
I had a terrible reaction to Nystatin. My kid got hives and started wheezing. We had to rush to the ER. Be careful and watch for signs of an allergic reaction.
I always seem to forget to take it when I leave the house. Does anyone have tips on keeping it on hand without it being a pain?
I've been using it for a few days and my skin looks like it's getting worse, not better. What should I do? Is it normal to take longer, or should I be worried?
My baby hated it because it made their diaper area really cold and it would get everywhere. I had to apply it before bed and hope that it would work by the morning.
I found it really effective, but it did sting a bit when I first applied it. My doctor said that's normal. Just wanted to give a heads-up.
I've heard that using it in combination with other topical creams can make it less effective. Has anyone else experienced this?
I could never get the tube to open. I'm guessing I was doing it wrong but it was a huge hassle after a while so I went to the pill form instead. Don't know if it was as effective but it was more convenient.
