What is the gentlest diaper rash cream?

Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream): Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) (no financial interest) has been my favorite for many years, along with allowing the baby to crawl around without a diaper as often as is practical. (you can't have diaper rash with no diaper!) if the rash does not resolve, or worsens, then something else (like a yeast or fungus infection) may be going on, and you'll want to see your pediatrician or a dermatologist.

Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) + Maalox: My favorite gentle treatment for most diaper rashes is the mixture of desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) (zinc oxide paste) and maalox liquid. Put an inch of desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) cream (do not use the "creamy" type) in your palm. Add 1 capfull of maalox liquid to it and mix together for a few minutes. Then rub this thinned paste into the entire diaper area for 30 seconds. Do this with each diaper change.
