Maureen began her day @ 8:12AM. She is in good form. Maya first applied Tolcylen to both big toes so we can allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Her diaper was light wet. We performed a standard clean and change that included the use/application of the following 3M Cavilon products: No-Rinse Cleansing Spray, Barrier Cream and No-Sting Barrier Film . Maya washed all areas prone to collect perspiration with Aloe Vesta Cleansing Foam and then thoroughly dried them. None of the areas of focus required the application of Nystatin.
