Hi, home treatment is generally all that is needed for most cases of diaper rash. At the first sign of a diaper rash, try the following steps: keep the skin dry, and make sure the skin is not in contact with urine and stool. Change the diaper or incontinence brief every time it is wet or soiled. During the daytime, check the diaper or brief every 3 hours. You may need to change the diaper or brief during the night to prevent or clear up a rash. It is not unusual to change a diaper or brief 8 times in a 24-hour period. Use a superabsorbent disposable diaper. Gently wash the diaper area with warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse well and dry completely. Do not use any soap unless the area is very soiled. Use only a mild soap if soap is needed. Do not use" baby wipes" that have alcohol or propylene glycol to clean the skin while a diaper rash is present. These may burn the skin and spread bacteria on the skin. Medication: apply homoeopathic preparation - calendula ointment over the affected area 3-4 times a day daily and orally give your baby calcarea carb. 30/ 3 times a day till the rashes disappears.
