A member asked:
My baby has a nappy rash and her butt has become red. which cream is really good to use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream).: My favorite is desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) (no financial interest), because it soothes most common diaper rashes and protects the baby's skin. If desitin (zinc oxide diaper cream) doesn't work, something else is going on, and you'll need to see your pediatrician or a dermatologist to determine what that "something else" is.
