Follow instructions: Try Hydrocortisone cream 1% from a local pharmacy store remove any "new chemical" agents that never tried before like any kind of shampoo, lotion soap, perfume and fabric softner. Remove any new items like diaper, clothes, towel or sheet if none of above, consult with primary care physician or dermatologist.

Scabies or bedbugs?: Be vigilant for rash around pant line, nipples and in between finger webs. Scabies can be the great masquerader- often missed and spread around easily by caregivers. If there is an animal like a dog around, check for mange- it is communicable to humans as well. Treatment is easy and safe. If there is a chance of bed bugs(look at mattresses, sheets blood spots); look for the bugs closely.
