Hello,
You can use canesten (Clotrimazole 1%) despite its young age
Fungal infections are common because of the moisture caused by the diaper.
The cream should be applied to the labia minora and majora twice a day, morning and evening, and at each diaper change, since the hygiene done with the wipe can remove the cream.
The treatment usually lasts 7 days, but if you see that the situation does not improve in 48-72 hours, it is better to consult the doctor to make sure of the right diagnosis
