Coat the area well with any cream you have handy,
Desiten, ad ointment, bacitracin, Mrs rosenfeld cream
Clean the area (preferably in bath) when soiled and cream again

This is literally a lifesaver. It saved my newborn and a friend just had similar with her 1yr old and it was the only thing that helped her after trying literally every single cream.

Smear Mr cream generously on the rash and coat with redmond baby powder. U can find it on amazon if the pharmacy doesn’t have it.
Within a day or so the rash wash gone.

Don't use wipes. Use a spray bottle with plain warm water and pat with tissues.

The wipes sting really badly.

Mix Caldasene powder with diaper rash cream and smear a thin layer every time you diaper.

No wipes. Spray bottle with warm water.

Coconut oil is very soothing for baby raw skin and also is antibacterial

Look at what acidic foods u can cut out from babys diet. Chocolate dairy or nightshade veggies can often cause it

Lots of warm baths. Avoid wipes. Generous layers of cream and powder (different kids of mine did better with different creams). Refuah Sheleimah baby!

I usually mix up whatever cream I have on hand; anti fungal, bacitracin, diaper cream and top with powder

I poured liberal amounts of extra virgin olive oil and/or coconut oil and over that sprinkled liberal amounts of corn starch.

I also left my toddler diaper free overnight, but that wouldn't be a good idea if the child has diarrhea.

Refuah sheleima.

Triple paste with aquaphor on top is the only thing that worked for us

Calmoseptine ointment.
It works wonders.
I've recommended it to people and they're amazed as well.
It contains lanolin and menthol, besides for the regular diaper rash ingredients, which are very soothing and healing.

Yes! I once had a baby nurse that taught me this. Just the other way around. A thick layer of aquaphor first then a thick layer of triple paste. Always works!!
