Use a barrier cream

When to see a doctor instead

See a doctor - or, for anything severe, go to the emergency department or call 911 - if the rash blisters, bleeds or looks infected; your baby has a fever or will not feed. Our questionnaire screens for these warning signs and points you to the right care.

The assessment is free with a valid Ontario health card, or a flat $30 without. Any prescribed medication is billed at its usual price and may be covered by your drug plan.
