## Questions

**Which diaper rash cream works fast?**

Triple Paste Diaper Rash Ointment has the best record (37 of 37), followed by Desitin Maximum Strength Paste (33 of 34) and Burt's Bees Baby Natural Diaper Rash Ointment (34 of 36). These are parent reports, not medical advice.

**Does Boudreaux's Maximum Strength Butt Paste work for diaper rash?**

Often. 28 of 33 said it cleared the rash, though it has the weakest record here, and 15% of its reviews say it didn't.

**Does Boogie Wipes Diaper Rash Spray work?**

18 of 20 said it cleared the rash, and 25% like how easily it goes on. It is a spray, so it is a different kind of product from the creams and pastes here.

**When should I call the pediatrician about diaper rash?**

Call your pediatrician if the rash is severe, lasts more than a few days or comes with a fever. A cream is not a substitute for that call, and this page reports what parents said, nothing more.
