Can you tell me if lubricant a reliable soulotion instead of diaper rash cream?

Lubricant vs cream: Most lubricants are water-based, and will not adhere to the skin as long as diaper rash creams. However, there is no reason that you should not be able to use a fragrance and additive free lubricant if you do not have a diaper rash cream available.

Agree w Dr. Russo: For diaper rash keep baby's skin clean & dry. Change diaper as soon as it's soiled or wet. For healing allow baby to go without diaper for periods of time so affected area can air out. Avoid tight diapers or airtight covers over diaper. Meds your Dr. might recommend include antifungal cream (for fungus), a steroid cream (for significant inflammation) or an antibiotic (for bacterial infection.)
