Which prescription option is used for treating stubborn diaper rashes when yeast is present?

  1. Nystatin

  2. Paracetamol

  3. Ibuprofen

  4. Lidocaine

The correct answer is: Nystatin

Nystatin is the correct answer for treating stubborn diaper rashes when yeast is present. Nystatin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat fungal infections, including yeast infections. In the case of diaper rashes with a yeast component, Nystatin can effectively target and eliminate the yeast, helping to resolve the rash. The other options, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, and Lidocaine, are not suitable for treating diaper rashes with a yeast component. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are pain relievers and fever reducers, while Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. These medications do not have antifungal properties necessary to treat yeast infections present in diaper rashes.
