See the babies PCP: There are some more advanced options for hard to treat diaper rash. You will definitely want to see your pediatrician and possibly a peds dermatologist if the diagnosis is in doubt as there are other conditions that can mimic diaper rash.

See pediatrician: 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.)
