My LO has had a fungal nappy rash from being one month old (currently 5 months). We have tried everything we can think of - daily nappy off, using water wipes or cotton wool and water, different nappies, drying her after, frequently changing her... but it never fully goes away.
The dr said it’s one of those things and there’s nothing else we can do - he said she will probably have it the whole time she’s in nappies. I asked for the anti fungal cream on a repeat prescription but he said this wasn’t possible, and that I could buy the cream - but it’s £5 for the tiniest tube that we go through really quickly! Today they prescribed a bigger tube, and I asked the pharmacy and they said it was only £4 but that I shouldn’t buy it as (1) she’s entitled to free prescriptions and (2) she will become immune to the product. I’m now at a loss of what to do - do I keep going back every time I run out and get different creams or just buy a larger tube??! Any tips would be great.
