Hello ma'am, thank you for your question!

Would it be possible to know exactly what products you applied and for how long?

Thank you!

Hello,

i tried zincofax for 2 days, desitin (which had worked miracles before) for about 5 days and now I've been using Penaten for only 1 day, but I don't see any change

Thanks for the feedback!

The Zincofax (or other zinc containing product) should be 40% concentrated

If it was anyway, I suggest Coloplast's Triad product:

Whatever the product, it should be applied at every coat change. Check the diaper often, change it as soon as it gets the least bit dirty or wet

If the problem persists for more than 5 to 7 days or gets worse, I recommend consulting a doctor to evaluate the presence of fungus.

I hope that I have been helpful to you and remain available if you have any further questions
