Simikiar rash happened to my nephew and his pediatrician said to mix cortisone lotrimin and a&d ointments together and put the mixture on him. Within an hour we already saw a huge difference and within the next day or two it was completely healed

Use warm washcloths with water instead of disposable wipes.  Keep her dry, you can use cornstarch and try to change diaper brands if that doesnt work.

There was a recall on diapers. Hopefully those weren't it. They sold them at Walgreens the whole brand is in recall. Wipes diapers creams everything.

I know this sounds funny but an antifungal cream like for athletes foot. I took my daughter to the e.r. because I thought she was having a reaction to something and this is what they prescribed to me. It worked amazing.

A&d is really good for the diaper rashes. You should also wash her bottom everytime she goes to the bathroom because the wipes will just hurt her.

I would take her in to the pediatrician. Make sure you change her every time she uses the restroom don't let her sit in it too to long. Pat dry her bottom and put the diaper rash cream on every diaper change. Make sure you keep her bottom dry when you change her. I baby sat this baby girl that had the same problem but hers was really really bad she cried non stop never smiled it broke my heart but its because her parents wouldn't change her diaper when she was dirty. Anyways if I'm not mistaken she had to be on antibiotics. Hopefully, it doesn't sound that bad from the post, it gets treated soon before it gets worse and she feels better. But for the time being I'dmake sure to keep her bottom dry and put that cream on every diaper change. Another thing doctor told me, to put water on to clean instead of a wipee. Why i have no clue but she told me that for my son because he was developing a rash.

Give her a bath with baking soda a few times a day and let her be diaper free for a little bit. I use triple past on my son and it works wonders. Don't use wipes on her for a little bit, just use a warm wash cloth when you change her. The wipes can make her butt rash worse.

I wonder if its the parents choice diapers. I used them on my son last month just for that month and he got pretty sore. My nephew got really bad as well using parents choice even though he had been using them since birth. His skin started blistering and peeling pretty bad. For me changing the diaper brand and using desitin worked great. I even changed my son every 2 hours so he wouldn't get worse. My sister did the same thing and now they're both fine. Also I know this isn't an easy option but if you could fond a way to leave your baby without a diaper for a while that would help. The fresh air always helps heal them faster .

It sounds like it could be a yeast rash. Go to the store and buy something called Lotrimin. Its an antifungal. Stop using any diaper wipes for now and just use either paper towels or a washcloth with warm water and a very mild soap. After you get her clean make sure her bottom is silky dry, you can even use a hair dryer on a cool setting to get the skin nice and dry. Apply the Lotrimin cream (you can use it 3-4 times per day) and then if you'd like you can use a thick layer of a barrier cream (like desitin, triple paste, balmex, etc) over top of the Lotrimin to create an extra moisture barrier. Most rashes are caused by moisture and if you trap moisture under a diaper cream that just furthers skin breakdown which is why its important to make sure the skin is nice and dry.
