My 14-month-old daughter has small raised red patches or bumps on her vulva. I have been using Canesten for 2 days and there has been no improvement. What should I do?

It is recommended to try using a cream like Zincofax (the pink one) at this time. It is rare for girls of this age to have yeast infections, but red raised bumps can often be caused by local skin irritation. If the condition does not improve after 3 days of applying the cream at each diaper change and after baths, it would be best to consult a doctor.
