California Baby Non-Talc Powder, Canister - Calming, 2.5-Ounce

I have a one year old baby who has had yeast problems nearly from birth. At one point she had angry, red yeast rashes in her diaper area, under her chin, in both armpits, and behind both ears. I took her to the doctor time and again and tried every anti-fungal and antibacterial cream they recommended. While some worked for a short time, none of them delivered lasting results. I was going crazy trying to solve this problem. I read that talc powder works really well and it does.

When you use any powder for the purpose of what you would use a "Talc" powder for (wicking moisture, cooling, chafe prevention), it needs to be fine so you can easily apply it and spread it over the area that needs treating. With this particular product by CB, I notice as I am spreading it over the treatment area that there are little clumps which either are a result of picking up moisture OR are a consequence of one of the ingredients. No matter, it still is irritating and annoying to drag lumpy bits of powder across angry skin.
