When should I call the doctor about diaper rash?

Sometimes a diaper rash needs medical attention. Talk with your baby’s doctor if:

  • The rash does not look like it's going away or gets worse two to three days after starting treatment
  • The rash includes blisters or pus-filled sores
  • Your baby is taking an antibiotic and has a bright red rash with red spots at its edges
  • Your baby has a fever along with a rash
  • The rash is very painful
  • You suspect a yeast infection
