What can i do to help my babys rash from scratching?

Apply lotion: In general, a mild, unscented lotion to add moisture to your baby's skin is a good way of easing an itchy rash. Some lotions such as cetaphil, eucerin, and aveeno baby are good options. Vasoline is also a reasonable option. Some pediatricians will recommend a topical steroid cream such as hydrocortizone, especially if your baby may have eczema. Depending on the age, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help as well.

Creams: First, you can alleviate the rash by changing your baby's soap and lotion. Try a mild soap such as cetaphil or dove for sensitive skin. Good moisurizers include aquaphor, eucerin and cetaphil. You can also apply anti-itch creams such as calamine or Hydrocortisone 0.5% cream. Both are available over the counter.

Find the source: Heat rash. Viral rash. Allergy rash. Infectious rash. Scabies. Eczema. Contact dermatitis. Yeast. The best strategy is to determine the source of the rash and address that specifically. General non-specific measures to deal with itchy rashes can include oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) elixir, soothing oatmeal baths, OTC aveeno anti-itch cream, and prescription steroid creams. Also keep baby cool & use 100% cotton.
